I scored one this arvo at Australia Post. Couldn't believe it. Silly lady squashed the COA when she put the Case into the box :(

what sort of premium does a sequentially-numbered pair attract you reckon?

So, I got wind of a PO in Perth that has a bunch of Proof Dragons and went there this afternoon. Got there ten mins before closing, was crapping myself, got lost, finally found it and man was it worth it! I found the cabinet and what did I see? 2 sequential-number coloured proof 1/2 oz...

pm sent :D

I had the same checkout issues yesterday, tried 3 times to get past the Billing stage, and got the same "unable to update.." blabla. Tried ctrl+F5 and it popped through no worries. One more dragoon under the belt. It's craptastic how the PM website struggles with volume like that..

great, and now their website isn't letting me get past the Billing section. %#&#&# EDIT: had to do some F5'ing but got through. 1 more for the stack :D

Just checked Perth Mint site. They have another 22.. now 21 1oz coloured proofs up for some reason! And only $107.. Still only one per person.. has anybody managed to order more than one or are they very strict with it?

Thanks guys. I've contacted the seller so we'll see what happens. It is disappointing. They either noticed the marks and decided to send it anyway, or were careless enough to send it off without checking it first. Stay tooned.. :/

So it arrived. Pretty quickly too I might add. the coin came in an over-size capsule that doesn't fit the box, so I need to track down some 60mm capsules for them. I am very happy with it, it really is a beautiful coin and for spot+$8, the value seems pretty good too.

Ya that was my thinking AndyRoo. Seems to me that if a coin can be graded MS69, second highest of the Mint State gradings then it should be ALMOST flawless. I thought the point of grading was to quantify the qualities of a given coin, placing it on a scale by which to value it. One MS69 2010...

Oh really, OK. Seems weird but OK. No wonder there's such a big leap in price from MS69 to MS70. I'll keep it then. Thanks.

So I just received a PCGS MS69 2010 Panda, and the temple side has what looks like rust staining on it. Yes, those orange stains are on the actual coin. These photos were taken with my phone, I'll take some better macro ones when I get home. Is there any way that: this staining could have...

http://www.zlate-mince.cz/email/09102010_.htm That's a cool coin, love the minimalistic-ness, and the type around the edge. I want one. Where'd you get the proof? I don't mind at all, I'm all for thread digression, especially if it's to get into unique and elegant coins :)

Yeah, dragons and pandas, yawn :/ Got the skulls off eBay, found out they're 55usd from the Czech mint site but can't order international. Got any Czech friends? I paid a bit much probably (119ea) but just had to have em :D

Found them. Minted by Czech Repuplic. Bought 2. Will post info/pics in Silver Coins forum since this Numismatic forum is a ghost town :/

Cool. I'm watching a bunch of auctions on the bay and wondering if flipping now or waiting a bit would be the best play.. There seems to be growing glut of them on there at the mo, I'm just concerned about getting caught in a momentary high supply situation and not selling for as high as I would...

I went to every Australia Post Shop within a 10K radius today and scored 4 1oz Coloured Proof Dragons, and 1 1/2oz Coloured Proof, all at original release price :D My local PO Shop guy gave me his card and said "next time there's something coming that you want, give me plenty of notice and I...
