I too have just received email orders I placed have been shipped out. No 1oz Silver Dragons. I was too late for those when I placed these orders
I just read that one Australian dealer got assigned 6000 coins instead of the 40000 he was hoping for. 6000 coins is 2% of the total mintage for one single Australian dealer. Honestly, I think this is abolutely nothing to complain about, given that there are probably way over 100 dealers out there...
Probably the dealers who have shipped not the mint itself. Although nothing should be leaving anywhere before Sept 1 but meh, if there's yet another shafting going on in this saga nothings new.
I don't quite understand what you mean by that? By the way, prices are getting cheaper again in Germany. You can now by the 1oz silver for under 70 Euro and the Gold for around 1400 Euro, which is actually not too bad for the Gold dragon. I wonder why pretty much all German dealers are selling them already while none of the US dealers does? Do they have different contracts with the Perth Mint, were they preferred in the allocation, or maybe they were just under peer pressure because some dealers started selling?
German dealers always sell before the official Perth Mint release to maximize market share. They are doing this every time. Remember the Treasure of Australia series? They are also the one leaked the pictures from the Perth Mint server. Basically they do not give a s**t about the Perth Mint rules, because they can get anything they want form the Perth Mint anyway.
Wasn't it Chards in the UK who leaked it? That's where I saw it. I'm sure APMEX and Gainesville would have to care even less about the Perth Mint rules, they are probably much bigger than any of the German dealers.
Reminds me of many of the Perth Mint collector coins that have hype surrounding them. The Perth Mint release price might be say $100 and they "sell out" within a day, they then go on feebay for $150 where they sell at those prices for a couple of weeks then begin to drop back to reality in the weeks thereafter once the hype drops away.
I think I bought from this seller before, he ships to Australia. The ones to bid on are at 66 Euro at the moment.
The aucion says: "very rare, sold out at the Perth Mint". I think if this were true there would be riots in Perth next week
The first German pictures originally linked to the Perth Mint server.
