    The video wouldnt load for me, as my nets been shiiiiit in my camp for the last week.
    If this is the 10kg lunar dragon coin, which i assume it is.... i was thinking bout grabbing 1 of these beasts a bout a month ago..
    but the premium seems pretty how compared to the 100oz bars i just stack.
    Price wise i was losing about 70-80oz for the similar costs, althought they look so beautiful, in the end its just a lump of metal :) lol

    The 10 kilo rabbit is stunning and it's not just a hunk of metal as one forum member ignorantly suggested. I am one who gives credit where credit is due and the Perth Mint has done an amazing job with this coin and the whole series. From what I understand, many hours go into polishing the coin after the initial slab of silver is poured and made, weighed, processed, and inspected. That's a hell of a lot of work for a single coin IMHO. Compared to most other coins, the 10 kilo coin has more labor invested in it than other coins.

    A couple of months ago, this coin was offered for less than $16,000 here:
    http://www.apmex.com/Product/59136/...ilver_Australian_Year_of_the_Rabbit_Coin.aspx

    Of course that's a lot of money for most of us but it's a better price than anywhere else I'm aware of and unlike the 1 kilo coin, minting on the 10 kilo ceased at the end of 2011 from what I understand. Only 173 of these pure silver works of art exist.

    Due to its size its actually less collectable I think, which is what makes it more like stackable metal.

    But it depends on your focus, as many of us just want the silver not the numismatics.

    I have seen some of these 10kg coins up close and I don't think they are that well finished.
