    As the title suggests just getting some ideas and info on coloured dragons. Personally I think putting paint on silver is like putting lipstick on the Mona Lisa. But what I think is of little consequence. What about the 1 oz typeset? When are they being released?

    The four coin typeset and single coloured 1oz will be popular... the rest... I dunno.

    With all the proofs sold out the typeset is going to be the next HOT item.

    The proof alone is selling on ebay for more than the typeset so I hope I am one of 1500 lucky people to grab one.

    My Guess is what they are calling proof coloured are actually the same as last years release which are only specimen(maybe its a new proof altogether) , 3800 1oz and 170 000 exported ,not sure of others, and all the talk is about all of the bullion coloured that i doubt we will see any on the market here in Australia.
