2013 Year of the Snake Lunar 5oz and 10oz bullion coin premiums..

Have recently purchased a 2013 1 kg Silver Proof-like Year of the Snake Lunar coin (awaiting delivery from Talisman Coins in the US) and am interested in adding to my collection with a 5oz proof as well as some 5 and 10 oz bullion coins.



Can anyone offer any insight as to why the 2013 silver bullion Lunar Year of the Snake 10oz coins have such a hefty premium (69%) as compared to the 5oz (28%) and even higher than the 5oz proof {(57%) mintage of 5000}? (At least on APMEX this is the case.)...According to the Perth Mint website (updated as of 4/29/14), the 10 oz sales have been 28,213 as compared to 20,552 for the 5oz , with both having unlimited mintage. Does anyone here know of a dealer in North American where the premium discrepancy is not as great ?

I think you just answered your own question, according to the apmex website

 

Apmex's pricing is greatly determined by quantity in stock. In stock 10oz - 3. In stock 5oz - 193.

 

Thanks dccpa,

But where on the APMEX site is one able to determine how many of each coin that they have in stock?
Does one have to be logged in to see this info, or otherwise be placing the item in one's cart, or is there another link on their website which provides this information?

Thanks again in advance!

Start entering 9s and unless they have 10,000 or more in stock, the inventory total will show up when your entry number the available quantity.
