Series 1 1999:Rabbit 2000 Dragon 2001 Snake 2002 Horse 2003 Goat 2004 Monkey 2005 Rooster 2006 Dog 2007 Pig 2008 Rat 2009 Ox 2010 Tiger Series 2 2008 Mouse 2009 Ox 2010 Tiger 2011:Rabbit 2012 Dragon 2013 Snake 2014 Horse 2015 Goat 2016 Monkey
Most sellers will say "XXX on Ebay, XXX on Gumtree etc". ........But I don't think you will interest in that kind of prices.
MOST SII 1 oz Silver coins range from 30~45 except Tiger & OX. No idea on SI as I am also looking for.
I noticed lunar roll prices in recent past on Silver stackers. comments welcome Series 2 2008 Mouse : 800-850 2009 Ox : 1000-1100 2010 Tiger: 1000-1100 2011:Rabbit: 850-900 2012 Dragon: 720-750 2013 Snake: 660-700 2014 Horse: 650-720 2015 Goat: 660-700 2016 Monkey: 640 P.S. --> These prices were around the time when silver was less than 20AUD/oz P.S.S --> each $ increase in spot means +$20 per roll.
I expect to see the precious metel porn in lunar series soon. New porn junkies will come to the market and i expect they will come with lot of money in their pockets. I germany right now there is a public rush and hype with a new 5 coin without any instrinct value, its copper nickel coin with a plastic round inlay Average joe wants to own this coin and is paying a 300%+ premium for a bullshit coin. Once these people want real money it will become funny.

SII Mouse has potential to become the gem in 1 oz silver SII set (just like other sizes of SII mouse) until PM remint them in 2011. SII Dragon has a good start but...............you know its performance now. Therefore, OX and Tiger becomes the Key (most of them were held by strong hands)!
I was given this information by another member - The Ox's were bought up big by European collectors and many went to the US also, so more of the OX's than Lunars from other years for some reason, went overseas. I just bought 10 2009 S2 OX's for my collection and had to do it in three lots, 5 from Germany, 4 from one US seller and another one from a coin dealer on Ebay. It took some really determined searching but they were all obtained including postage costs at approximately $61.50 AUD per unit. Persistence can sometimes win in the end. I was almost ready to just go with Perth Bullion at $73.50 per unit but was too damn stingy. Good luck!
Refer to my personal experience, Rabbit and Dragon are more easy to have Milky Spots/Colour Stains than other years.
Some animals are more auspicious than others i.e. tiger, dragon and horse. Others like sheep and ox not as much. When the tight hands overseas eventually loosen their grip on the ox, I don't think it's future premium will differ too much from a mouse or rabbit.
Depends on where you keep them. Some of the capsules a bit loose in those years, that's why easily toning
