    How do you find out when something (e.g. 1oz Silver Proof Mouse) gets reprinted?

    There is no real way that I know of besides checking each day the 1oz Silver mouse isn't even listed on the website anymore so not sure what is happening with that whether they are getting it ready to sell again or it is just gone

    According to the PM, as of May 2011 the mintage numbers are as follows;

    2009 1oz Proof Ox - 2147/5000

    2009 Three-Coin Set Proof Ox - 340/1000

    2009 1kg Proof Ox - 143/500

    Obviously, the sales of the lunar Oxen in 2009 didn't go as well as PM had hoped for (less than 50% of the total mintage numbers for each coin was sold!)... so i guess its now time to cash in on the lunar fever ;)

    Another 30 available on the perth mint site now. What are they doing getting us excited that they sold out and then just keep bringing them out.
    Oh well good for those who want one

    Well, they have another 2700+ to sell.
    In my opinion they will eventually ruin the secondary market and kill off demand.

    Instead of reminting old coins they should focus on their core business and make the 2oz and (0.)5oz dragon coins available again!

    PM doesn't give a hoot about the secondary market. With silver prices down compared to earlier this year and with the lunar rage going on... its all about profit maximization & its the best time to milk this demand. While at it, I reckon they might as well start reproduction of the 2008 lunar mouse since the sales figures are similar to the oxen :cool:



    According to the PM, as of May 2011 the mintage numbers for the lunar rat are as follows;

    2008 1oz Proof Mouse - 3024 / 5000

    2008 Three-Coin Set Proof Mouse - 365/1000

    2008 1kg Proof Mouse - 137/500

    Well, funny you should say that.. PM site has no listing for the proof mouse anymore, maybe getting ready to re-mint a few?

    That's right. What I'm saying is that it is a stupid decision in the long term. If prices for lunar coins stay down, less people are going to buy them because there is less profit to be made. They can only sell 5000 or however many because lots of people are stacking up, not because there are 5000 people buying them. If people don't stack up anymore, they will sell a lot less of their coins.

    I've only recently got into stacking silver.
    Wouldn't mind if they started re-minting more mice.

    I just got the 1oz Ox Silver Proof and Ox Typeset when it became available again.
