Hi All, If one was to have started stacking only recently and Dragons were the first Lunar purchase and they wanted to pick up the previous years. How much are a roll of each of the series 2 going for these days?
http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-14561-series-2-lunar-prices-in-rolls-of-20.html Matthew is pretty accurate there.
Good idea, I may offload all my other silver in order to pay for the previous years lunar rolls then work out how much I need to finish off so I am current. Depending on how Maggie does with the Lunar group buy this goal may be a very ambitious target.
OR... Mortgage backed Lunar securities Lunar default swaps sub-Lunar loans QE Lunar 2 collateralized Lunar obligations All rated BS.....
I agree with Matthew with the exception of tigers. At least in the US, tigers go for nearly $100 a coin. They have skyrocketed in the past 3 weeks.
Just my opinion and I could easily be wrong, but there appears to be some bid rigging going on with the series 2 silver lunar tigers. Buyer/sellers with 1000s of transactions are bidding up some of the tigers and those end up going for $90-105. Other tigers sell in the 60-70s. As the owner of 5 boxes of tigers, I would love to be wrong, but some of the bidding on those tigers doesn't make sense to me. Either way, I think the dragon frenzy is a factor in the premium increases for the other series 2 lunar coins.
Yes, the dragon mania has pushed up the price of tigers recently but the tigers even prior to that were going steadily up. The tigers are a popular lunar animal in the states as well. I don't see the prices of tigers dropping much or not dropping at all in the future. As for the dragons, I do see them going down a bit once the coins start to actually enter the market but will still command a huge premium.
Right so to buy Lunars (not dragons) asking price is as follows (apmex as a guide) in $US 2008 Mouse 1oz $48.50 Mouse 2oz $300? only 9,000 mintage 2009 Ox 1oz $64.50 Ox 2oz $180 2010 Tiger 1oz $110 (yes not a typo!) Tiger 2oz $ NA 2011 Rabbit 1oz $62.50 Rabbit 2oz $126 yes I had the 1oz and 2oz round the wrong way....
$50?! I've been picking up rolls of them in the $43-$45 range the last couple of weeks and silver has dropped a dollar also!
