    On Tuesday the next batch of silver dragons will be released.

    Different coin styles and sizes will be available. The limited info I've been able to identify includes the following:

    # 2012 Year of the Dragon 1kg Silver Gemstone Edition
    # 2012 Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver Coin Gilded Edition
    # 2012 Year of the Dragon Silver Proof Coloured Coins
    # 2012 Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver Typeset Collection

    Which style and size of coin do you think will have the highest secondary market value (premium) once released and why?

    I vote typeset.

    The 1kg gemstone edition is appealing (does anyone know what gemstone it will be?) but for the same price you could get a 1kg bullion coin + a couple of 10 ouncers!

    For the millenium dragon in year 2000, it was 2 x 0.02 carat golden diamonds. I won't be surprised if they decide to go with diamonds again! Is the pricing and mintage out?

    Hmm... why aren't all the gilded 1oz's issued in a display box with COA? Unless of course they have 2 different prices??

    Hi, this is my first post here. Curious me this message from PM:
    Is that mean a few different colors ? E.g. red, green, blue and yellow dragon and mintage 2500 each color ?
    So, I understand this Dragon will be in proof quality instead of specimen, as in the previous coloured lunar coins ?
