Perth Mint Will Consider Back Minting Lunars Depending on "Interest"

100 % sure they will be sold out very soon

 

I ordered 50 too.

Slam

 

I grabbed a handful as well, can't imagine they'll be there much longer, very popular apparently

 

Hi Guys let me know if you're willing to part with one when you get your order.

 

One wonders where the Mint found more of these 1oz Mouse? Unless someone sold a bunch back to them recently.

 

They are minting them again. I suspect the market will be flooded with these coins over the next few months.
Then they will start on the Ox :lol:

 

Steve, the Ox, tiger and rabbit have reached they're 300k limit so we won't see any more of them I don't think.

 

OK, if the Ox has already reached its limited, then it looks like we will only get a mouse plague :lol:

 

Mintage of 300.000 is pretty small these days, I alone hold more than 0,1% of each year.

 

I don't believe the Mouse, Ox or Tiger have reached their limit of 300,000 nor do I believe these Mouse coins being sold now are recently minted.

IF the Mint was going to start to remint the Mouse, Ox or Tiger they would have announced it.

These coins they are now selling I would think have been buy-backs made by the Mint, that is, people have sold their coins to the Mint and the Mint is now selling them. ie. no change in the quantity in existence.

As for the 1kg coins, like you'd be going near them! 100,000 1kg Kook, Lunar and Koala 2011's have already been sold - there will be zero numismatic premium on them in years to come.

 

it will be gone for a while, but it'll come back again, look at 2007 kooka

 

the mint is minting them again, it's been done before with 2007 kookaburra.

 

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure the PM is minting more mice.
I just placed an order for 600 of these coins a few hours ago and they still have another 4000 in inventory.
It is hearsay but another dealer told me that after this batch is sold out, the minimum wholesale order for 1oz mice is going to be 500ozs.

 

Where's the info on that? Announcement ?

 

The Perth Mint is playing the scarcity card. It's a manufactured shortage.
Don't think for one minute that a dozen stackers who buy a 1/2 box each of the mouse is going to empty the mouse inventory.
The are skinning the flippers before they make their announcements.

 

This is interesting. I just checked out they're "official" mintage for the Series II Lunars and it states on there they were sold out.

Maybe they were keeping some hidden away?

 

They have sold out of the initial run that they minted in 2008.
Now they are minting the rest of the 300,000 mintage

 

I've got rabbits and mouse Im looking to swap for Ox and Tigers if anyone is interested.

 

doh , they 're not gonna put it in writing.
back in 2009 the market was suddenly flogged with 2007 kookas.
one of the former sponsor here can confirm if he reads this thread.
expect to see lots mouse in secondary market very soon.
