Libertad, real or fake
by AGCoinHunter » Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:12 pm
This question is for those who know their libertads. I purchased a 1992 libertad a few months back and just noticed that it has a reeded edge instead of the smooth edge with the writing struck on it. Is there such a thing or am I looking at a counterfit? It weights the same (31.1grams) as what I believe to be a real one. Does anyone know?

Should be the real thing. It does look odd to see the reeded edge in a stack of the ones with writing, but the weight (31.1g) confirms it.
I have some like this and the reeded edge certainly caught my eye, too.

Thanks for your reply KCC. Anyone else have experience with these?

Great, thanks Verbane. Just wanted to confirm. Odd to make it smooth, then change to reeded, then back to smooth.
