Historical Significance:
The Mexican Silver Libertad series began in 1982, while Proof 1 oz Libertads were introduced later in the decade. The 1999 Proof belongs to a period noted for exceptionally low production, with a reported mintage of only 600 pieces, making it one of the scarcer Proof issues in the series.
Collectibility:
With its low 600-coin mintage, classic Libertad design, and Proof Deep Cameo surfaces, the 1999 issue is particularly desirable among Libertad collectors. This example is authenticated and graded PCGS PR65 Deep Cameo, offering a certified example of this scarce date.
