Weird Libertad Transaction

I don't typically buy slabbed coins so am not familiar with the grading. Does this even look like a MS 67?

Considering the 99 is the lower mintage, I think you got ripped.

That is one thing I noticed about some of my libertads , while they looked great when I first bought them, (2013) 5 oz, within a year 4 out of 5 of the 5 oz bu I had where showing these black dots with stains flowing out from the dots, another reason "not" to buy bullion slabbed coins. You just dont know what kind of "latent" damage will show up as the years pass. Proofs are bad enough , some grading companies , maybe all dont use gloves when they grade coins,I have seen the video showing this, they touch the edge of the coin with bare fingers, so at the very least you could have finger marks on the reeded edges showing up years later, plus have you ever handled say 100 coins a day without gloves and "not" mistakingly touch the rest of the coin? Doubtful.

Its more common then you think, especially with bullion, personally I wont not buy any slabbed bullion,
big waste of money, just do a few searches about it , lots of grief with buyers of slabbed bullion. The only winners are the grading companies and the sellers.

Don't know what you guys are talking about? I have over sixty slabbed bullion coin, including on going ASE MS69 Brown label, Libertads, Philharmonic and Panda collections. As well as several other slabbed bullion coins. NONE have degraded in their slabs, except my 1oz Wolf from my Canadian Wildlife series, which developed the much talked about milk spots that had nothing to do with being slabbed.

Seems like a lot of generalized statements from people that don't even collect slabbed bullion.

To the OP, that slab would have made a great novelty item for your Libertad collection. Although I am sur you paid a premium for the date. No telling if the date was just mis printed, or the whole label was made for an entirely different coin that was both a 1999 and MS67. The spots aren't defects, they are small toning spots from spots of residue that somehow got on the coin. Graders are supposed grade coins by the condition of the surfaces, not any toning that is occuring. Though they cannot help considering eye appeal.

The 1999 and the 1997 are generally the same price, the mintage only differs by 5000. Post pictures when you receive the new coins. I love Libertads.

Better check your storage condition Yup!

Denco...if only I could justify the novelty of the mis-labeled slab. But the budget doesn't allow for that.

I asked the folks if they had any unslabbed 1999's and in what condition. They didn't answer so I don't think I'm going to be buying anymore from them. They are evidently on a very tight word budget because all of the answers I received were of 5 words or less.
