    Looks pretty good! Now you have to collect the entire snake set ;)

    That is the problem >.< I've got the 10oz bullion so need the others now! Going to be extremely difficult to find a 10oz proof through :S

    If you like the snakes try and get a series 1 proof snake from 2001 - much more stunning than series 2

    I shall be doing exactly that tree.im always on the look out. It's just finding the cash ATM to keep my stack going. Monthly allowance will be shooting up shortly so I'll be collecting far quicker!

    Absolutely gorgeous proof snake! That would be a keeper if it were in my small stack. The Perth Mint really knows how to make exceptional proof coins.

    If those are your pics, good job!

    10oz proof lunar coins are only in 4/5-coin type sets.. like hen's tooth... but doesn't mean you can't get it, thus, premium price or (if you're lucjy) someone breaks the set... which is very unlikely... good luck and happy hunting!

    The 5 coin proof set was available only on the first 6 years of Series 1, I don't think there was any proof 10oz Lunar minted since then

    Took them with my iPhone at my work desk after opening the parcel :) I'm like a kid when receiving these!

    Thanks for the info about the 10oz proof. Saves me spending time looking for something that doesn't exist. I think the 4/5 proof sets are a little out of my reach. I've seen a few being sold for 2,000! I'd prefer to buy 2-3 1oz gold coins for that sort of price.
