1/10 oz 'rose' gold edition 2005 lunar rooster - info

[phoenixeagle]

Can anyone shed some light on this little unique piece? Info on price, mintage and why PM did a special 'rose' gold edition for the rooster?

Saw it on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Australi...19256?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item20e82568d8&_uhb=1

Not sure if they're worth this much or even how rare they are, just have never seen anything like it....

Cheers

Thought 'rose' gold is not real gold.

Thought 'rose' gold is not real gold.

I believe rose gold is a gold/copper alloy, and from the coin having '750' on it, I'm guessing its 75% gold and 25% copper.....

Mintage was 15000 but I believe they only sold 7816

Anyone know what these are worth?

Do they demand a higher premium than the regular bullion version?

How much would the regular bullion version be worth as well?

750 gold is 75% gold jut like 999 gold is 99.9% gold. Is it worth the asking price? Who knows? Not for the gold content but for "scarcity" perhaps, depends on desirability/perception. Some silver 1 Oz Pandas are going for hundreds of dollars, are they worth it? If people are prepared to pay yes. There is always a greater fool, so we hope.
