    The design is really quite unimpressive ... Same motif for different shapes.
    Increased mintage for fan-shaped series 2.

    This article translated seems to imply that people are buying tickets to enable them to purchase the 2012 dragon. I could be wrong ...

    I noticed that Panda America has listed the fan shaped gold dragon as 1/2oz but the CHNGC website has listed the fan shaped gold dragon as 1/3oz.... anybody knows which is the right one?

    I would say it's a typo on Pandaamerica's behalf. Thanks Lightsview, I didn't even notice that - I was mainly interested in working out how many 1 kilo gold proof dragons I could buy :lol:

    Bit pricey, but to be expected. Maybe can get a better price if you go through him directly and no eBay.

    Still waiting to see what other suppliers prices are first though :)

    Apparently sold out in under half an hour on his store, I'm sure he'll have more at a higher price later though.

    You wont get it any cheaper by waiting.

    The prices are expensive, the mintages of most of them are relatively high - was going to get a few but think I will just stay with a 1oz flower silver dragon to go with my tiger and rabbit - nice little set of 3 :D
