Wow $685 is a great price. I paid $900 for mine and they have them for $944 now. Oh well that's what I get for not noticing them sooner. Still, I think I'll do alright just based on the extremely low mintage. I sure hope that wasn't a typo from the mint and they actually did 2000 like the last two years.
yup, yes it is the lowest mintage by far. Next lowest mintage I see was 2000 for the last two years. Earlier then that they minted as many as 6000.
I've only seen the proof-like on a couple european dealer's sites so far, and they were running about $1,000 to $1,100. Mintage of 500 compared to 800 the previous year. They are stunning looking though.

I just noticed APMEX has updated the product description for the kilo with the 200 mintage, specifically saying its 1/10th mintage of last year. That wasn't in the description yesterday. :) They are definitely gonna squeeze as much as they can now. |

You are right, they have put the mintage there now. I believe this is not only the lowest mintage of any kilo coin, but the 2nd lowest mintage of any Libertad, regular or proof, of any size. Only the 1999 5 oz Proof with a mintage of 100 is lower. By the way, I need one of those if anyone has an extra one they were looking to unload.  |

Hey guys! Man that is some mark up.. but that is typical of APMEX and most dealers LOL.... I will be keeping an eye out... I do like it. The kilo looks GREAT CrazyGlue! great job on adding it to your collection. I know the Kilos sometimes get a knock because of their size but after buying my first one, a somalian elephant kilo,,, man they are awesome lol I am thinking, seeing how high the BU kilos are compared to the PL, almost feels like you can get a PL seeing they are in the 1,000 range now.. |

holding a kilo coin in your hand is, I would say, akin to holding a brick in your hand, its heavy AND big.... hold it with 2 fingers and I can guarantee you will immediately tell thats its very heavy and B I G... unlike any coin you have EVER owned....

That is huge, I guess it has a chance to really appreciate in value with only 200 worldwide.
I just don't see how that is considered a coin.lol

I thought most collectors tend to stay away from having too many kilo coins...
