Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
lol damn didnt know they cost that much i never did check the price and i was think it would be about the same price as the rabbit you have

The 1st Lunar Series in particular can get crazy expensive. It wasn't until late into the series or the beginning of the 2nd series that they really became popular. By the time there were 50,000 buyers lined up for each piece, they were all left fighting over the limited number produced. I looked up the mintage of all of the pieces of the series by metal and size, funny enough, they have 1KG pieces that they minted about 1,000 of. Some of the gold coins only have 2 minted per year.

Now Perth produces a pretty large amount of coins to keep up with demand, but going back and finding the older coins at a decent price is tough.

yeah if you find a 10 oz or kilogram 2012 lunar dragon at a good price lmk, did they have bigger ones for 2000?

The 2000 Lunar Dragons come in 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 10 oz, and 1 Kg. The 10 oz and 1 Kg are exceedingly hard to find, at least at a decent price, as under 10,000 were minted. If I recall something like 7500 of each were minted. The 1/2 and 2 oz were something like 50,000 made, and the 1 oz around 100,000 made (again if Im not mistaken)

APMEX is definitely not known for having the lowest prices, but just to give you an idea, they are selling the  1Kg dragon at $1300 cash price, and $700 cash price for the 10 oz. I can certainly find better, but what I mean is don't expect to find a $1300 piece for spot value or anything near that.

I'll keep a lookout for the 10 oz and kilogram 2012 dragons. Are you interested in any of the 2000 dragons or anything else?

yeah i got all the 1oz ones not the bigger ones tho

Are you looking for the 2/5/10 oz or kilogram 2012 lunar dragon? I'd be happy to keep an eye out for whatever you'd like. If I find one at a good price before I order again, I'd just link you to the source.

lol nice

i wish it or even the big silver coin was year of the dragon i might have been interested

I've got a handful of the year of the dragon 1 oz rounds, but those are in my personal collection at the moment and not for sale. I believe the Perth Lunar series may have been my introduction to numismatic coins. I've got all of them produced so far. At least in silver.

Yep, thats where I got them  Grin

I was actually looking for an ungraded 1/10 oz rabbit to make a necklace out of, when I saw the MS70 ones listed for the same prices as the going rate for the non graded ones. Now I can't find any comparables at any other shops.

Fresh in today (2) MS70 1/10th Oz 2011 Year of the Rabbit Gold coins and (3) MS69 2004 Silver Eagles

Actual photos of the Rabbits and Eagles uploaded. The photos are not stock.

As a side note, the MS70 1/10 oz gold rabbits are OBSCENELY difficult to find. There is not a single online bullion dealer, reputable or not selling them. If anyone happens to find someone else selling them, I'd greatly appreciate a link. Trying to compare prices is tough when no one else is selling them.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?


The 2 Oz Silver Kraken is there for size comparison. These are BIG coins. As shown, they come in giant acrylic airtite cases direct from the mint. These are about $5/oz over spot value, shipping is free. These are definitely not just Silver Bullion. As I mentioned before, these are part of the Perth Lunar Series. Each year, the Perth mint in Australia produces bullion related to that year's zodiac symbol. 2017 is the Year of the Rooster, 2011 was the Year of the Rabbit, etc. The mintage figures aren't as low as some other collectible coins that are produced in extreme low batches, but its safe to say that the lunar series is the most collected series of any, so the premium is higher than others.

I also have the 1 oz and 2 oz versions of this coin in my personal collection. The premium on both of those coins is about $20+/spot per ounce or >100% premium. Larger bullion has a lower premium per ounce of course, as it takes less effort, electricity, and machine wear to make 1 32.15Oz coin versus 32 1 Oz coins, but as I stated, this is not something that will ever approach spot value.

I'm personally a rabbit fan, so the 2011 Perth Year of the Rabbit coins are on my top 5 favorite list.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
All prices are updated and my teased "BIG" silver rounds are in! Keep in mind I also teased that I'd be soon receiving some gold in the same spirit as these.  Wink

I'm now offering (2) 1 Kilogram 2011 Perth Lunar Year of the Rabbit Coins. These guys are massive, quite literally nearly the size of a real rabbit. 1 Kilogram is 32.15 Troy ounces for those of you doing the conversion, so if you have a 1 ounce coin laying around, consider these ones 32x larger. These also come in large acrylic airtite containers, so you can pat them as much as you would like!

Perth is one of the most distinguished mints, being particularly well known for their zodiac series. Every year since 1999 they have released coins with relation to that year's zodiac animal. 2011 was the Year of the Rabbit, and these cute fellows were minted.

This year may be the year of the rooster, but screw that, rabbits all what its all about! Oh, the coins also have some old broad on the back and are legal tender in Australia, making them coins rather than rounds.

And as always, this is a stock image for the sake of convenience. If someone is interested, I'd be happy to take pictures of the ones I have.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
So I placed the majority of my restocking order today. When things start arriving, I'll update the thread and update prices and such.

As for a hint of what I have coming in,
(2)BIG Silver coins (debating whether or not I'll sell one or both, THEY ARE MINE!)
(10) 2 Oz Coins from across the pond
(2) MS70 Gold pieces in the same spirit as the BIG Silver coins
(50) 1 Oz silver bars
(3) MS69 Silver Eagles
and something a little interesting that I think will get Bitcoiner's attention. Its a 2 oz proof piece from a mint I've patronized before. Less than 250 were produced, and its definitely in the general spirit of the forum, so we will see how long that lasts.

Once everything arrives of course I'll reveal all of the details, but for now I at least wanted to give everyone a heads up that some new things will be arriving. I may delay listing a few things so that I can order cases for a couple of the pieces that may need them.
