Guys, there's been a few comments regarding the price of the up and coming release of the 5oz Proof Dragon (05 June2012) For the new guys on the forum, you may not realise that the 5oz proof, lunar series 2 coins haven't been minted before. There's no 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011 5oz proof coins. If you check the numismatic mintages on Perth's web site you'll see what I mean; also check the latest comlaw, you'll see there's no 2013 -5oz proof snake. Numismatic mintages http://www.perthmint.com.au/numismatic-mintages.aspx So...the coin might be expensive but in the years to come, it may be "the" coin to have. The 5oz proof Dragon will be unique. Holdfast
Comlaw for those who want to check out what PM will be minting this year.... http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2011L02779/Explanatory Statement/Text
Have you ever purchased a Proof coin with milk spots from Perth or are you one of the sheep who go blabbing off without any evidence? So what coins do you buy sunny, so that I can bad mouth your favourite coins. It's people like you that broadcast un-warranted and misleading information that damages a good company and really pisses off people who want to buy coins that you obviously can't afford. If you have had a problem with a purchase, Perth has a 30 day money back guarantee and...if you purchase from a dealer, the dealer can return the coin, either way the customer wins. Next time, post something useful instead of rubbish or if you have a legitimate gripe with a coin-purchase get off your arse and post the image plus, who and where you bought it from; other wise button-up! H
can't wait any longer! want too put it side by side the other lunar 5 ozers wish that the koalas proof were HR as well.
every Dragon coin i have has been the coin to have LOL. feels a bit like gound hog day with this stuff.
I know a dealer who's got 30 1/2oz Coloured proof dragons that have developed milk spots. I was in his shop while he was opening all the boxes to check them. He's been knocking back offers from the Perth Mint to take more of the dragon releases too. I haven't bought any myself and I don't intend to either. And yeah, I could post pics but frankly I can't be bothered arguing about coins I have no interest in anyway.

Interesting that the Dragon Privy description spelled out a lion on the coin but the Snake version makes no mention of what the privy stamp will be.
What about those who bought their PM coin from the Post office? http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-24490-milk-spots-on-colored-proof-dragons.html
