    sure is setting itself up to be a huge disappointment. 1oz silver and gold will be about it for me. Look like an ultra cynical attempt to cash in on the hype by cranking out a million different gimmicks.

    Coloured is how to circumvent the 300,000 limit on the regular specimen bullion, which can't be raised.

    Perth Mint first big mintage attempt with coloured bullion coins was a complete disaster. Tens of thousands of ounces of coloured dogs were dumped to APMEX and despite they were selling only 49c over spot (generic round were selling 79c over spot) APMEX could not sell them well.
    The biggest issue was at kitco forum that time how to get rid of the stupid paint. Many indicated the 30 cents extra on generic round are better value because at least they get clean silver. Finally one day the entire unsold coins diapered from APMEX, probably melted down because not many can be seen on the second hand market.

    I missed that the other day when I was naming off the color coins for a friend. While I still think that the Dragon will be a much better investment than an ASE, I don't believe the 2012 Dragons will do near as well as the 2000 Dragons. As a business person, I have to applaud the PM for their creativity in circumventing the rules, but as an investor, I have concerns about the future premiums on the 2012 Dragons.

    +1 on everything you said hobo-jo.

    Also the 2000 dragon is minted in the year 2000 which is of great significance to a lot of collectors being the turn of the millenium.

    Just don't see the 2012 dragons going that high in prices, and we haven't even seen the design yet. If they fail with the dragon (like Tiger on Gold coins) it might be a massive flop lol.
