1987 1 oz Mexican Libertad Silver Coin Lettered Edge NGC MS 65

Own an early and highly collectible issue from one of the world’s most respected silver bullion series with the 1987 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coin Lettered Edge NGC MS 65. Struck by the historic Casa de Moneda de México (Mexican Mint), this coin contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and is certified NGC MS 65, representing a well-preserved example with attractive mint-state quality. As an early release from the Silver Libertad series, this coin offers both precious metal value and strong collector appeal.

The Mexican Silver Libertad was first introduced in 1982 by the Mexican Mint, one of the oldest operating mints in the Americas, founded in 1535. Created as Mexico’s premier silver bullion coin, the Libertad quickly gained worldwide recognition for its high silver purity, beautiful design, and limited production compared to many other major bullion coins.

The Libertad design draws inspiration from Mexico’s rich history and national identity. The iconic Angel of Independence represents victory, freedom, and the nation’s pursuit of independence, while the surrounding symbols reflect Mexico’s cultural heritage. Unlike many government-issued bullion coins, the Libertad does not carry a traditional face value but is guaranteed by the Mexican government for its weight and purity.
