Yeah I grabbed one of the Dragon Phoenix coins too just for the sake of having one in my collection. It's a nice coin, but I think there's just a little too much going on - you really need to focus on it to see everything as opposed to the design standing out and being easily readable I know of a few dealers who are still advertising them so they're still available I was in at Gold Stackers just before their xmas break and the guy I regularly deal with their told me he was pretty sure they had a bunch that they were holding back on and planned to sell in Jan. They open tomorrow so maybe keep an eye out on their site this week
Thanks m8 I only use 1 the 1 supplier for my purchases just easier for me that way. He is going to have a look around tomorrow to see if he can pick them up from 1 of his suppliers. The design is cool with a few negatives but it's the mintage of 50000 and release of 5000 into Australia that interests me.
According the site these are available if you are still looking: http://www.perthbullion.com/shop/detail/pmdragonphoenix17sco1ms70/
My latest purchase - Perth Mint Year of the Rooster 1 oz Silver Proof Coloured Edition High Premium but very nice. http://imgur.com/a/SNADy
I had no doubt the colorized rooster would look stunning, and they didn't disappoint. I know some folks don't care for colorized silver coins but I like most if not all variants of silver coins, and this one is on the list for the collection.
LOL,.....................................How many of the type 2's did you score in that lot? I see one but was there more? EDIT: i see ap##x has them for sale at $166USD
Let's just say more than one, and I am thrilled to even get the type 1s for the price we got the lot for.
A tin of Royal Australian Mints (made in China). Or maybe it's a tin of raw milkspots before being applied to coins?
a bit an unusual offering to aquire collectibles as bullion, I noticed they started to appear on local market and on Ebay. I'd say if the mint liquidates imperfect coins in such manner, good on them. (all the bars/coins I got in the lot have tiny patches of toning/milking) Unfortunately, only 4 out of the 5 were available, some got faster or that coins had no imperfections
Came home to all kinds of goodies in the mail: Zombucks, SGB, couple of nice 5oz coins, a Silver Certificate.. All firsts And all thanks to fellow Stackers. Bank account is empty but it was worth it!
Latest pickups, the 2017 britannia "waves" have imperfections in the same exact spots on each coin that the camera didn't seem to pick up. We won't be getting any more 2017s even if we do find another good deal on them...
