Mexican or Canadian...decisions, decisions

[undgrd]

So there it is.

I've been looking to get silver from both North and South of the border. I feel it a good idea to have both.
Note: I currently have no Mexican Silver


Your thoughts?

I've noticed that the libertards have a little bit higher premium...

The Mexican coin has boobies on it; the Canadian coin has a hag on it.

50/50. Why not a little of both?

I'm not a fan of Mex. illegals or of the old Hag. Get silver Philharmonics...

Libertads are beautiful. I voted Maples, though

I like the heft of the Libertads they feel like a "real coin" and having boobs on it also helps.

Maples are ok but rather boring to me.

Thanks for the input. Last question.

Why are the Mexico (Onza - Balance Scale Type) 1 oz. Silver Coins (http://www.apmex.com/Product/9558/Mexico_Onza___Balance_Scale_Type_1_oz_Silver_Coins _.aspx) less than the Libertads when they contain 1oz of silver?

I'm hoping ximmy is around because she seems to have good info on Mexican coins.

Edit: It's because they're sterling silver isn't it?

Sorry, I have no freaking idea... :o I didn't know there was another one... but, I pretty much stick with name brand or familiar named bullion, even if I've paid a little more for it, so there is no problem selling... for me, that concern is worth a little extra. IMO.

Although I like the canadian maples, since having read the thread below, I have acquired maples with the strange stains on some of them... :-\

Thanks for the input everyone.

Shop owner offered 2010 Libertads for the same price as the "Date of their choice" pieces. $3 a coin difference in my favor, so I jumped on that.
