    Not going to buy the coloured proofs. Usually have a mintage of 3,800 but now the Dragon has a mintage of 10,000... too many.

    Same, the 1/10 is still acceptable, other sizes, the premium is just too much.

    At 3 grand, it is a bit on the expensive side.

    Who buys them at that level and do they go up in value?

    What does "Created" mean under the "Order Tracking" at the mint website? I placed the order on the day the proofs were released.

    Do you have an order number?

    Here's what mines looks like (I used CC)

    Order Date Despatch Date Order No. Status Amount Tracking No. Shipper/Tracking
    25-Apr-2011 Created AUS $ XXXX.50 www.aae.com.au
    06-Sep-2011 SO-00813XX Packed AUS $ 511.50 57763XXXXX www.auspost.com.au/track/

    The first order failed online, I had to call in. It still shows as created. Retarded system.

    I got my goods in the end though.

    Not necessary. Ring them up and ask.

    Might be different for overseas orders.

    Considering they leaked your name to the world I would think the very least they could do is fulfill your order :p

    I have the same problem and i send a lot of Mail without solution. I ask her for a supervisor and she say:

    Good morning Dr (my surname)

    I have repeatedly advised you that we do not have any orders for the Year of Dragon proof coins for you

    I will not respond to any further communication regarding these coins

    I am sorry you missed out but so did a lot of other people also

    I have repeatedly advised you that we do not have any orders for the Year of Dragon proof coins for you

    I will not respond to any further communication regarding these coins

    I am sorry you missed out but so did a lot of other people also


    The customer client support from perth mint sucks.
    I send my screen shot with the request without order number
    I make a lot of buys from pm but now im going to other sites or dealers. I dont like she answer to me.

    ******* is not nice at all in her emails, I have dealt with another person there though who is SOOOOO nice. My favourite for sure. But ******** comes off as rude even when I ask a question that has nothing to do with dragons.

    No SH*T.

    Maybe I should talk to Ron? I was the first one to post on his introduction thread :)

    I agree the Dragon mania will pop soon but the Proof Silver and Gold coins should hold value due to there small mintages...

    If anyone is interested we have a few 1oz Gold Proofs still available.

    $3000 with "silverstackers" coupon code on our website... below is the link.

    Guys, please don't post the names of employees of businesses on here - particularly when they're not party to the thread and in a position to defend themselves.

    Afraid so.

    If you received an email with a order price and a method of paying but no reference number then the oder is useless.

    As many people experienced, as they tried to buy on line, their cart was deleted of items as the online inventory was depleted.

    A person would think that once they added to the cart, their items were secure; this is not the case.

    The other issue with the online purchase was the wording.

    Most of us knew that we could purchase one of each proof item, but the wording seemed to indicate that only the kilo proof dragon had a limitation.

    So, time was wasted by those who ordered one kilo coin and a few individual proofs and 3 sets.

    I'h reasonably sure Ron is aware of these anomalies and if he isn't I hope he'll use his leadership to ensure the IT staff have the system up and running perfectly for the new release in early October.

    Having said that...the bottom line is, if you have no order number and no reference number ya out of luck.



    PS:

    For those folk on dial-up internet, don't waste your time trying to make an on-line order.

    Use your phone.
