Thinking about putting together a set of 1/2oz gold lunars, has anyone picked up some of the lower mintage gold fractionals recently? Tiger seems reasonably priced/available but haven't seen many ox/mice. Mintage figures suggest they'll be harder to find - thoughts on premiums?

Stacked - for me i was leaning towards 22 purely for the higher Au content, i could rationalize the spend a little easier. Had heard mixed reports on durability. Probably not going to be a daily wear but had hoped odd 9% would cover the durability issue. Probably will end up investigating 18 as...

Sorry, is the 300% formula specifically for 'big box' jewelers? Had heard Chinese/Vietnames/Thai jewelers prices were priced closer to dollar/weight and wouldn't have the horrendous markups you'd expect from some of the larger franchises

Looking to grab a 22ct gold necklace for the Mrs this year. Familiar with the ins and outs of buying bullion, not so much for jewellery. I'm in Sydney and understand Chinatown's probably my best bet. Does anyone know roughly haw much mark-up the average list price will have? Obviously i'm...

Came across an old 1000 reis coin today. Obviously not legal tender any more but was tempted to pick it up and try when i'm over there next year.

Interested in peoples opinions on how lunar premiums affect GSR trades (if at all). As of writing the GSR is approx 52. Using a straight lunar swap as an example, would a trade of 52 1oz Ag rabbits equate to a 1oz Au rabbit? Is GSR meant to be a 'pure concept' - i.e. we shouldn't be...

I was in one of the larger local dealers recently and overheard an interesting conversation. Reception took a call from someone obviously enquiring about Dragons, she mentioned that there were none available and that they were disapointed with their low allocation. She then mentioned that they...

My experience with a previous order was that AAE wouldn't redirect to a post office when it couldn't make delivery. Ended up ringing PM after two failed delivery attempts and having it redirected to my work address. No problems, no $17 redirect charge.
