Has Anyone Else Seen The News From The Mexican Mint Re: 2025 Libertads?

Both gold and silver spot prices have gone up about 45% from a year ago, that's mostly the reason gold bullion is now much higher. A report from a dealer on the reading room started the conversations about 2025 libertads having very limited silver mintages and no gold at all. But there's been nothing official from the Mexico mint, they usually do not publish mintage numbers until well into fhe following year. So official 2025 mintages won't be released until about mid 2026.

There's been some 2025 silver libertads on ebay, JM Bullion and Provident metals stating the very low mintages, only 500 for the 1 oz BU. They are selling for over $1,200. The 1 oz silver RP mintage is 1,500, JM Bullion wants $1,499 if they are still in stock. I'm not buying at these high prices. If the Mexico mint struck/released more 2025 yet this year the current prices would fall. Nobody knows for sure except the Mexico mint and they aren't saying anything about 2025 mintages right now.

If the low mintage numbers are true there will be a lot of upset libertad collectors not being able to continue the series in their collections.

thank you, livingwater, for that reply.




yes, that was one of my first thoughts, but I didn't want to just run along on that assumption, so I went digging thru the interwebs to see what I could turn up. more about that shortly.




i saw a few reports that said the same. i'll post them if/when I find them again.




that sounds reasonable. I found the website for their mint, but I really didn't dig into it too far. I saw some other links I wanted to follow first. anyway, i'll come back around to that.




i saw that written in a couple places, but I haven't yet gone to any of those dealers to see for myself.




yah, I'm priced-out of any libertads dated 2025.




yep. while I'm not really a hardcore collector of libertads (i have just two: a 2023 1oz silver & a 2024 1/10oz gold proof, picked up both last year), I do like them. I was considering acquiring more, but i'd have to go for past dates.

I'm out of time at the moment, but i'll be back.

Like Eisenhower dollars, for example.

Indeed.

Gold Libertad mintages have almost always been low, much lower than American Gold Eagles. But collector demand for Libertads is less in USA than for AGE, ASE. Most of the value for any bullion is in the spot prices. See wiki link for older mintages and here is gold mintages directly from Banco de Mexico site for 2022 2023 2024. 2024 was mostly double mintages from 2023. Maybe they made so many 2024 they decided to cut back for 2025, reportedly no gold Libertads at all in 2025, we'll have to wait and see if that's true.

I'm still human.

here's another article's info. I was blocked from posting a link:

The Mexican Libertad coin series, celebrated globally by collectors and bullion investors for its artistic beauty and intrinsic value, faces unprecedented disruptions in 2025. These challenges stem from significant operational problems at the Mexican Mint (Casa de Moneda) and strategic decisions related to existing inventory from previous years.

Operational and Market Challenges at the Mexican Mint

Several critical issues have contributed to the Mexican Mint's dramatic decision to limit Libertad coin production in 2025:

Economic Uncertainty: Global financial instability and high inflation have led to reduced discretionary spending on bullion and collectibles.
Silver-to-Gold Ratio: The widening silver-to-gold ratio, approximately 100:1, reduced investor interest in silver bullion.
Excess Inventory: Overproduction in 2023 and 2024 resulted in significant unsold inventory, prompting drastic production cuts for 2025.
Regulatory Constraints: Tighter banking regulations made it more difficult to secure new silver and gold reserves.
