    If Mandela is buying, he probably want it to be completed as fast as possible. Like my friend mention, he probably won't be around to see the Perth Mint Lunar Horse Series 3. :(

    Can't agree more.
    It's like those TV shows/movies where they make sequels just to squeeze money from people and shows drag then like a November foggy weather here. Or it reminds of Terminator movies. I first 2 you were told that John Connor is the most important human (to survive). Later on they tell told you that he actually isn't so important. What will be in next sequel - that actually his unborn son of his neighbor was the most important?!?!
    I mean - WTF. If you try to make money ok, we live in world ruled by money, but if you take to the grave (destroy) everything you've built before, then that's simply stupid. Bad, bad boys...

    Hi Stark,
    your examples with movies are so much fun :D

    Yeah, they messed up the series in all possible ways: country, realease time, size, repeating motif, not clear information, what else? There are no many options left to ruin the series even more ;)
    Alex.

    They ruin the series from a dealer's point of view only. We buyers/collectors like it very much. More coins in short time allow us buyers, to buy it cheaper. Number of coins doesn't give you a chance for the speculation and waving the prices up.

    Last coin from this series I was able to get for 245 PLN (75 USD) and this is ideal for 1 oz antique finish coin. I like this series much more than overpriced Mongolian coins where starting price on eBay this year was 450 Euro (598 USD)

    We are human dancers :)

    I don't think it forms part of the old series. I would suggest this is a first coin of the new series called "African Art & Cultures". Germans should know better :)
