Mexican Silver Libertad Price (2026)
Today's silver melt (1 troy oz .999)
$66.84
Silver spot: $66.84 / oz · updated 4h ago
The Mexican Silver Libertad (Onza Libertad) is a one troy ounce coin of .999 fine silver, struck by the Casa de Moneda de Mexico, the oldest mint in the Americas. Its floor is the silver melt value above. On top of that you pay a premium, and for the Libertad that premium runs higher than a US Silver Eagle or a Canadian Maple Leaf, because Libertad mintages are far smaller.
What is a fair price?
A common recent bullion Libertad in BU trades at roughly 8 to 15 percent over melt. That is normal and reflects real scarcity. Where the price jumps is the low-mintage years and the proofs, which trade at multiples of melt.
| Type | Premium | Approx. price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Silver melt (1 oz .999) | 0% | $66.84 |
| Common bullion year (BU) | +8-15% | $74.86 |
| American Silver Eagle (for comparison) | +30-45% | $92.23 |
| Low-mintage year (2000, 2003-2005) | 3-10x melt | $267.34 |
| Proof / high certified grade | 5x+ melt | $401.01 |
Which years are worth the most
The key dates are the low-mintage bullion years, above all 2000 and the 2003 to 2005 run, plus the modern proofs, which had tiny mintages. A common 2011 or 2023 is a melt-plus-premium coin; a 2000 satin or an early proof is a multiple of melt.
