I have been searching a few places and can still get them for $89 ATM but once these dry up I know it will be very difficult and prices to rise.
Release price was actually $89 but with silver rising the mint pumped up their proof prices pretty quick.
If they get to the 1oz max mintage soon, then i guess they will get back into making the 5oz and 10oz rabbits. I thought they would've been a good buy (similar to 2oz mouse) because they stopped minting them, but maybe now that isn't the case.
The 2oz Mouse, its price is rather odd being so high. Not like there was any great shortage, 9,000 were made which is comparable to other 2oz coins in the Lunar years. I'd say we will see the 2oz, 5oz, 10oz and 1kg Rabbits exceed every other year's production in those sizes.
I wonder if they will bring back the other size coins when they hit the 300k limit for the dragon? I don't think it will take long provided the design is good. In that case maybe if we are all good this year Santa will bring back the full typeset
300,000 mintage limit was reached today, Perth Mint not taking any more wholesale orders. One buyer has strategically bought out the remaining wholesale mintage today... You can still order from Perth Mint shop or Perth Mint online, while they have stock though.
Hi Ben, Yeah, it's been ages. I've been flat out working on a couple of projects with Tim mostly running the show here. By the way - thanks to all the Stackers who have been using BB, have met up with a couple and spoken to quite a few, all nice people Unfortunately not me though - I tried to stock up today and was told too late mate!! I think it was an overseas retailer, they'll have a bit of a monopoly for a couple of months I'd think.
The larger coins have been put on backburner while a massive order for 1 kilo coins is being processed. This is occupying full time the larger press(es) used for the larger coins. The press used for the 1 oz coins won't do the job for the larger coins. I wouldn't expect PM to resume taking orders for these larger ones for a couple of months.
I have very few 1oz coins. Most of my coins are the 5 and 10oz varieties. I like them much better, but they aren't so good when i want to swap to build the 1/2, 1 and 2oz collection.
