2 oz Silver Libertad 2015: Value & How to Sell It

If you inherited or found a 2 ounce Silver Libertad from 2015, here is the short answer: it carries roughly 2 troy ounces of pure silver, so it has a floor at melt value, and with a low mintage of 20,804 pieces it can sell for a meaningful premium over that floor when it is in top condition. This is a real silver bullion coin, not a piece of pocket change, and it will always find a buyer.

The Onza Libertad is Mexico's flagship silver bullion coin, struck by the Casa de Moneda de México (the Mexican Mint), the oldest mint in the Americas. "Onza" means ounce and "Libertad" means liberty. The 2 ounce version is a larger, heavier format aimed at collectors and stackers rather than everyday circulation.

What it's worth in 2026

Two things drive the value of your coin: the silver in it and the collector premium from its low mintage.

1. Silver floor (melt value). The coin contains 2 troy ounces of .999 fine silver. Its baseline value tracks the international silver spot price. Multiply the current silver price per ounce by 2 and you have the absolute minimum this coin is worth, whatever its condition.

2. Collector premium. With only 20,804 pieces minted, the 2 oz 2015 is scarcer than the standard 1 oz Libertad, which is produced in the hundreds of thousands most years. That scarcity pushes clean, uncirculated examples above the pure metal value. A piece still sealed in its original Banxico blister (the mint's plastic packaging) or one certified by a grading service commands the strongest premiums.

Coin	Year	Silver content	Mintage	Value driver
2 oz Silver Libertad	2015	2 troy oz, .999 fine	20,804	Silver spot + low mintage premium
1 oz Silver Libertad	typical year	1 troy oz, .999 fine	100,000s	Mostly silver spot

Because silver prices move daily and collector demand shifts, we give you a formula instead of a fake fixed number: start at 2 ounces of silver at today's spot, then add the collector premium, which for a low-mintage 2 oz piece in high grade can be substantial. A worn or damaged example sells near melt. A pristine, graded MS69 or MS70 example sells well above it.

How to tell if yours is genuine

Silver bullion this size gets counterfeited, so verify before you buy or sell.

• Weigh it. A real 2 oz Libertad weighs 62.205 grams. Fakes are almost always off, usually light.
• Measure it. Diameter should be 48 millimeters exactly.
• Ping test. Real .999 silver rings with a high, sustained tone when balanced on a fingertip and tapped. Counterfeits and plated base metal produce a dull, short thud.
• Magnet test. Silver is not magnetic. If a magnet grabs it, it is not solid silver.
• Certification. For anything you plan to sell as a premium collectible, grading by NGC or PCGS is the definitive proof of authenticity and condition, and a graded coin sells faster and higher.

Where to sell it

• A verified numismatic dealer from the Pesoteca shop directory, who can appraise it on the spot at fair value.
• The Pesoteca buy and sell forum, where you deal with actual collectors rather than a first-come lowballer.
• Reputable bullion buyers, who will pay at least the silver floor.

Photograph the obverse, reverse, and edge before you list it, and know your melt value going in so nobody talks you below it. Avoid dumping it to the first bidder on social media, and be cautious on general marketplaces where fakes of large silver pieces are common. If a listing shows no edge photo and no weight, walk away.

Is it worth grading?

If your coin is uncirculated, still in its Banxico blister, or looks flawless, sending the best example to NGC or PCGS can pay for itself in the premium a certified MS69 or MS70 brings. A circulated or scratched coin is generally not worth the grading fee and is better sold near its silver value.

Not sure what grade yours is or what your silver floor works out to today? Post clear photos of both sides and the edge in the Pesoteca forum and let the community weigh in before you sell.

2 troy ounces Silver Libertad 2015 Regular BU

This piece is the 2 troy ounce Silver Libertad, struck by the Mexican Mint in 2015 in its Regular BU version.

Technical data. It contains 62.2 g of pure silver, .999 fineness, and measures 48 mm in diameter. The reverse bears the effigy of the Angel of Independence, chosen by Banxico as the official symbol of the series since 1981. The obverse shows the National Coat of Arms in its pre-1969 version, alongside other historical coats of arms as an identity mark of the family.

Role within the set. It is a piece for a serious collection. Its mintage is far lower than that of the standard ounce, and its large format lets the detail of the engraving shine. It is usually hunted peer-to-peer alongside the 5-ounce piece.

Context of the year. In 2015 Enrique Peña Nieto was in office. Silver closed at 13.82 USD per troy ounce, one of the lowest prices of the period. A historically good year to build the complete set.

Regular BU finish. The Regular finish, cataloged by Banxico as satin or BU, is obtained with dies without special polishing. The result is an even matte luster across the entire surface, with no mirror contrast between fields and relief. It is the traditional bullion finish: it is bought for its weight in pure silver plus a modest die premium. It is the version that hunters seek to build the complete set by year without decapitalizing on each piece.

Mintage. Banxico reported in its official tables a minting of 20,804 pieces for this combination of fraction, year, and finish. That number is the basis for measuring the relative scarcity of the piece within the program.
