    Sadly ran one of these over a few months back. Doing my bit to lead to a faster extinction & increase in coin value... :-/

    Same box design. Perth mint says "Previous issue sold out" and "The second coin in the Endangered and Extinct series"

    I'm going with 'yes'

    Looks nice, but I sold my tiger recently.

    Lol, guess I'll pass up on the series now.

    Think I might collect this series. What's the going rate for the Tiger. I've found 1 for $185 and am thinking of getting it. Any thoughts.

    That's good news actually... many of us bought on expectations of a big premium which tapered off a few months after release. This next release has prompted high prices once again. I think it will be worth keeping until the end of the series!

    Good news for you ;)

    Current auctions on eBay are above $185. Maybe the tigers got bitten by a Redback and the price is going up.

    I just bought one of these. Available online - who knows how long for. They are endangered after all.

    You can still buy at the downies website 2 per household for 116. Think I'll pass.... The tiger will be where the money is in this series.

    Both the Tiger and the Eagle are very nice coins. I bought one of each for my father but I bought them because he's a Taswegian. I didn't realise they were in the same set. :rolleyes: now I'll have to finish that one on top of Gilded Lunar Series II x 2 & Bullion Lunar series II x 1

    Damn you numismatics

    Damn you to hell
