Slightly Delayed Christmas Mail from my Stacking Sister.

“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

Buenos dias amigos! Received almost after a month since posting! I am happy to report and feeling relieved in getting this despite the unknown nature of the delay as it sat in limbo in a great void called the Canadian Border Security Agency. A bureaucratic no man’s land located between two mighty postal systems.

Getting a personally handwritten anything nowadays is almost a lost art, don’t you miss the time before email? Moving right along...

The Card.

Opening the card up we get...

Oh, a little gift from my Sis, as they say, "Good things come in small packages!"
I love the little bow tie touch, let's open her up.

2021 Mexico 1 Onza Libertad
image.png
Reverse: Winged Victory monument, volcanos, and Mexico City.
Text; 1 ONZA PLATA PURA 2017 LEY .999 Mo
0.999 Silver, 31.1g
Diameter = 40mm, Thickness = 3mm thick

One of the Secondary goals of my Core Stack is to maintain a ratio of Maple Leafs, American Silver Eagles and Mexican Libertads which should be 70:20:10 in my thinking but I am far out of proportion and off target. With premiums distorting prices I may forego this goal and simply get the more easily available Maple leafs and Britannias since my cash flow is suffering lately.

Obverse: Mexican Coat of Arms
Text; ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS
Edge; Reeded
Minted by the Mexico City Mint, Mintage of 450,000 BU, 4,450 Proof
Reference KM# 639

The huge Premiums on Mexican Libertads are partly due to low mintage, making them a rarity in Canada pushing their selling prices well over 100% over spot. Even more than American silver eagles.
As one of the world's leading producers of silver, it makes me wonder why the Mexico City mint production have yet to return to pre-covid levels? Anyone know?

I have a special @silversaver888 Treasure chest.

This chest is unfinished, and I haven’t decided how to embelish it yet. Current choice: Ice Blue? 🤔

Curious on what's also in the chest?

The Silver Saver Channel Bars and Black Pearls
Z:SIN Scrofa and Norse Dragon rounds with 10 silver Dimes.

Sis, we have known each other long before Hive, Thank you @silversaver888, for being here with me. and you know where those silver holes are in my Stack. ❤️

And, thank you my friends for coming aboard today.

What a beauty engraved on this coin on the reverse winged victory. This coin is 10/10 due its detailed coat of arms and silver purity. !LUV

An amazing design isn't it?
While this version relays a broader context of Mexican Independence, I also like the previous up close of the Angel herself.

♥️ No denying that.
I'd love to get more Libertads but unless there are larger production runs of them from one of the largest Silver producers in the world, there is less and less chance of me seeing my retailers carry this marvelous Mexican money.

Blue, that would go with tie bow tie.
Thanks @silverd510

The Mexico City mint has been in operation for 400 years producing a huge variety of coin designs since.
I have a handful of non-silver Mexican coins too.
Looking through the Numista listing of Mexican coins I marvel at the immense variety such that it couldn't be possible for anyone to be able to collect it's entirety.

Thanks for dropping in again, @olympicdragon

What sometimes starts off as a collection becomes a hobby, then becomes a passion and maybe even a career.
I Started this Stacking habit of squirreling away savings in the form of bullion back in early 2015 from after being frustrated how my long termed savings kept being inflated, service fee-ed and for worse ...mis-managed by so called professionals making more money from my Retirement savings than I did.

Hive gave Silversaver888 and I an opportunity to make a little side career out of it. It's lifestyle, home economics, history, and finances all rolled up in one.

Thanks for the support @ipexito

Woot, woot! You got it, and I almost cried because the post office couldn't locate the package! Yay!!!

Time is just passing us by! Before we know it, it will be twenty years, and you and I will be seven years away from retiring!

I hope you liked it, sis.
Hugs and kisses 🤗

This Mexican Libertad has become more precious since it came from you Sis. I stays in the little wooden chest with the other special items you set me in our past.

Who knows what will happen in the future, I hope we'll be still together/online when we get there.

Always, with love my precious Hive sister 🤗🌺❤️

Silversaver and I first met on the Youtube's Precious Metals community and have been following each other since. Very few gals get into this form of saving back then, I've seen more and more gals getting attracted to the shiny over the years.
I think I will glue on the little Blue bow tie on the Chest too.

Thanks for the support @jenthoughts

When I inquired at our local coin shop, I was also told that the premium on silver Mexican Libertad’s was much higher than Silver Eagle’s @kerrislravenhill !
Not sure why, but they are beautiful coins to add to your stack!😊
One more Merry Christmas my friend!🤗

With the last three Libertad production runs of under 500,000 for each of the last three years, the consecutive low supply would have a significant bearing on the retail prices.
Microscopic compared to mintage of ASEs in the same years.

Going into the Silversaver Chest!

It makes me wonder @kerrislravenhill why they would limit minting to under 500,000 with such a beautiful design that is obviously in high demand…🤔
Perhaps they are trying to create scarcity ?😇

I have own theory, first with Covid being a cover to divert the flow of silver production to their own secured supply chain warehouses outside the COMEX & LBMA system via a private numbered company. It is controlled by a well know precious metals company that have been buying up controlling shares of PM retailers too. I can't elaborate more since I get the feeling that I am being watched 👀

Silversaver and I have stuck together since early on our Stacking careers cherishing each other's company and hopefully for more years to come God willing. Therefore, it is fitting to have set aside a Treasure chest representing her.

Thanks @elizabethbit 🎄

Sick collection 😃🖤🙌

Delays suck but looks like it was worth the wait! I can see a future after the fiat system collapses they make it illegal to send gold especially and maybe silver across boarders in many places. Dystopian but likely unfortunately!

I instead of stacking metal past few weeks have been stacking a few thousand Hive.
Now back to metals 😃🪙

I wouldn't argue the likely behavior that our Governments will plumb great depths of depravity to enforce such laws trying to stem fleeing wealth. I've already heard that overseas US Embassies remained closed not because of Covid but to keep US Citizens from revoking their US Citizenship in favor of Countries that have better tax treatment and better freedoms.

I read you post showing you having exchanged your BTC for Hive. Putting your money where mouth is. Way to go!

Thanks for the music too @geneeveret

And in the greater Vancouver Regional district we have a Mexican community that would appreciate real money from their homeland. Plus a variety of Restaurants serving a Mexican cuisine, my favorite being Las Margaretta's eh Senor @bitcoinman

Such a pretty coin! Thanks for sharing! I picked up quite a few of these in the southwest US at much lower premiums than US coins, closer to the source I suppose.

You are fortunate.
To ship them far and over the border with the paperwork processes and taxes incurred tend to add costs to the coins before they get on my Retailer shelves.
