    I like the way they limit them to one per customer, as if they care about fairness and ensuring that everyone can get one!

    Charging $400 as well, I guess dealers have to make a living but if any show goers didn't get one then I don't see the point of a show special, it isn't available at the show (and it isn't that special either)

    Isn't the Perth Mint going to have some available online?

    "Under vociferous pressure from several buyers, we had little choice but to make all remaining coins available to buyers on Sunday."

    I wonder if buyers = dealers

    I know this sounds stupid, but has anyone actually called the mint to ask if any are available?

    They often mention the coin has sold out then then magically reappears again at the mint.

    So you can't even walk in off the street to get one.

    Well I guess the Show Special really was a show special!

    What do you think the chances are that the mint will decide that a Brisbane ANDA coin should be a dragon, they are certinaly having no trouble selling them. People are literally queueing up for them!

    all the show coins will be dragons , when your on a good thing milk it baby !! LOL

    of cause this is just MHO.

    but seeing the PM's form this last few months i wouldn't expect anything less , think about it only very few people got the Perth coin they have set it up very well to keep milking.

    now that would be funny a coin with a Dragon being milked don't ask me how to milk a Dragon though.

    it should be called year of the spider they make a web and we fly in to it , i include myself in this because i have fallen in to the trap too :)

    at the end of the day its all about money there are much nicer coins made by the PM but there's no money in them LOL.

    i fess up i collect things that i hope will make me some money not because i like what they look like some are nice for sure but that comes in 2nd.

    if i was rich i would buy what i like and not follow the crowd in to the web LOL.

    arrrhh its all fun what else is there to do?

    uuuuuuummm

    when you buy what you like, it's called "collecting"
    when you buy what others may come to like, it's called "investing"
    :D
