    It kinda the same pattern as the 3 headed dragon. Sold out in a day or two. Will see if it continue to follow the trend of having tons available in secondary market for same if not lower price

    Now the Griffin is out, I really like it. But after buying bullion on payday do I really need this? Still undecided.

    Well I bought one. The second wave at the mint are still available.

    Did a budget first before purchase of course. Now to hide it from the wife when it arrives....

    Red Welsh Dragon still selling for at least $127.5 on flea bay. Where did you see $100 or so? I need one, Talismancoins cheated on me, I missed it. Do not want to pay anything more than $110 for it:D

    Looks like the market is cooled down, NOT much flippers. Perth Mint has NOT even put any limit on purchase:D

    I think flippers should buy more 1/2 oz Forever love coins, that one should be more popular

    I think you are right. At the moment the lowest prices on flee-bay are Power Coin and Talisman Coins with same price $119.95; Actually Power Coin is also offering free worldwide shipping for this coin and 96 pieces left. Until they have these prices will not be easy to flip them.

    I will order directly from Perth mint, even though that means I will need to spend A$400 for free shipping. I would rather let Perth Mint make more money, than the dealers like Talismancoins:D

    I think that Talisman Coins have the worst customer service and reliability, but I think they have best coin description, they decribe all single detail you find on the coin with images, history, facts etc.
    I would not buy from them after so many bad experiences I read on the forum, but I have to admit they have best coin description :)

    Totally agree. I refuse to buy anything from Talisman coin. If you buy their pre-order... good luck getting the coins you ordered if it becomes hot. I used their website mainly for informations. hehe.

    Well may not have been such a 'smart' buy. 4 days on sale and it is still Available from the mint, as opposed to say the 3 Headed Dragon which sold out quickly.

    As long as it looks good when I take possession of it :)

    I also liked this coin and I think its a bit soon to know which way it will go. The numbers available are not big (BB-20 coins was 35 yesterday) - I remember the tassie tiger which was avialable for weeks after release. I was in the rare coin company getting flips and they had 3 on the shelf - I bought them all for $92 each. We need to wait a bit longer.

    ronny is definatly right , i thought as soon as i saw this series that its too early to tell if its a winner or not, its unique and an alright design but i think its really going to depend on the second coin of the set.. but theres some interesting coins in this set : unicorn, phoenix, wherewolf and dragon, i think the dragon was a bad choice, ive had enough of them

    Here is a photograph (although not without some Photoshop) which is closer to the actual finishes on the coin.
