    Below is a question about gold Dragons posted to a US centric metals site. Says he say some "large" gold dragons at a show with an odd looking finish and is wondering if it's fake.

    post below:

    The 2012 Dragon finishes
    Just came from a coin show, they were showing off large 2012 Perth Dragons. Gold 10oz and 1 kilo.

    I noticed the sanded finish areas were not even, they were even but what I mean when you slant them under a bright light you get a strobing effect (the color looks like it has soap residue).

    The guy at the show says they are a new finish from the mint, I kinda think they are Chinese fakes. My logic is that the same size coins Rabbits, Tigers din't have that effect.

    Anyone have/seen a large Gold Dragon coin and can confirm that its a genuine article?
