What order would you purchase the following in if you could only buy 1 at a time? I may be able to stretch to 2 of the 1/2 oz's this time around so which are the most valuable/rarest - 1999 1oz Rabbit - 843 2004 1/2oz monkey - 429 2006 1/2oz dog - 429 2007 1/2oz pig - 429
The monkey is the lowest mintage wise (4228) (Probably because of the design). I would say the Pig second (7694) and then the dog (5767). I am saying this because of the designs...again.
My favorites of the entire series are: the 1999 gold and silver Lunar Rabbits Today I ordered these: 1996 Australian 1 oz gold Lunar Rat 1999 Australian 1 oz gold Lunar Rabbit - no capsule, with abrasions 1999 Australian 10 oz silver Lunar Rabbit 2008 Australian 1 oz silver Lunar Mouse All overpriced, but sometimes I don't care.
For gold, I like the monkey and the snake personally. If you want details of the series our guide, especially mintages, is very comprehensive. http://agaunews.com/portfolio-items/perth-mint-lunar-series-i/
I am partial to the snake design. Really nice in hand. If I were picking from the one's you had listed though I would take the rabbit.
