hey guys im after the values per 1 oz coin of the series 1 lunars? im also after which ones are most popular?
IMO dragon is number 1 close second is horse and tiger. After that is the snake I believe. The rest I dunno lol
Dragon, snake, horse, tiger, rabbit, rooster, rat, Ox, goat, monkey, dog, pig. The last 4 you can order anyway you want but about $70ea. First 4 are pretty much in that order with the dragon the most popular. So essentially series 1 broken into the top 4 coins, then the 4 mid range coins then the 4 bottom range coins. In range 1 about $100 a coin except the dragon which is more like $120+ then range 2 around $80-$90 then range 3 which you can get for around $60-$70.
Matthew, I think your personal preferences and desires are influencing the outcome there. Who has series I lunars starting at $60 I will take every one of them?
Hmmmm, just series II Tigers have seen prices go upwards $100 and Apmex sells them for $109 wih their inventory being depleted. eBay tigers for series I are a super rare find and the proofs impossible as well (unless you pay $350) Series I Lunars for top tier go between $120-150 (aside from Dragon) Top tier like horse, tiger and snake. The cheapest series I Lunars go for are around $80 (like the monkey, etc) Also now the Ox is moving up quickly perhaps due to their series II coin exploding (series II Ox move easily for $100 alone)
A S1 proof tiger sold here recently for $160. I don't understand this. Mintage just released shows 541 sales of a possible 2,500. Total coins available of 541 is absolutely tiny - silver lunar tiger proof with this mintage should be twice the S2 price. Supply and demand I suppose. IMO the S1 tiger looks 10x better than S2 as well.
lol I sold my proof for $150 and I was selling the non-proof tiger for $85 ! Time to up prices me thinks
San Jose coin shop has goat and rooster at $80 and pig at $70 US dollars as of Saturday. I thought about it but not really a bargain I thought. Spokane Washington coin shop had any series 1 lunars you want except the dragon for between $USD 70-90. That's how I arrived at my price estimates, not influenced by anything else.
I picked up a lunar 1 oz horse and 2 oz horse for $4 over spot at a coin shop here. Don't think that's the value of the coin
Got a 2oz goat and 2oz pig for 95 ea today and a 1oz horse, goat, snake, monkey and rooster all for in the 70-85 range each. I also picked up 'dragon and a wabbit for 55 each but damaged capsules but I didn't care got them in a hurry.
It was my lucking into the Lunar 1 series in 2004 that got me started into collecting. Before that I was just buying bulk silver, silver eagles and 100 oz bars, stuff like that.
