Bimetallic, Rare and Hard to Find - A Coin Mercantile Pick


We continue our investment recommendations this week in short because of the quality of new coins which we have recently secured. We have spent great time and resource to ensure our recent shipment from the Banco De Mexico. We continue to go to great lengths to import high quality limited mintage world coins which we can recommend to our customers.  As with all hard assets, there are no guarantees of future performance for any of our recommendations. Past performance is not indicative of future results. It is in our opinion that the Mexico 2003 $100 Mexican States Commemoratives Baja California 1oz Bimetallic 1/2oz Gold &Silver Proof-Like Coin is a good investment.

There are several reasons why we believe this coin has good investment potential.  This coin epitomizes rarity.  Only 600 coins of each of the 32 coins in this series titled “180th Anniversary of the Unification of the Mexican Republic into a Federation” 2nd Stage Bi-Metallic were ever made.  Furthermore, the Banco De Mexico seldom produces coins that are bi-metallic, particularly for an entire series composed of gold and silver.  In addition, these coins are Extremely difficult to acquire.  Other than the mint (Banco De Mexico) that struck these coins and Coin Mercantile, we know of only one other source on the planet that actually has any of these coins in stock, for acquisition of this coin or the others in this series.  And they are beginning to sell out.  There may be other suppliers, but we cannot find them.  In addition, the design of this coin and the others coins in this series, posses an absolute unique design. They are not only bi-metal gold and silver, but each coin contains ½ oz of gold in the center of each coin and 12 grams of silver in a concentric ring around the gold center.    Finally, this coin and all coins in the series are beautiful which commemorate architecture, art, science, flora, fauna, regional costumes or geographical sites of interest, indigenous to Mexico We love this coin and all coins in this series and believe over an intermediate or long period of time this coin and the others in its series, have the potential to increase in value.  Always Remember, there are no guarantees about whether or not a coin or any collectible, material thing or instrument in any asset class will increase in value and past performance of a coin’s return is Not indicative of future results.
