Why are the bullion 5ozers so expensive?

See below mintage figures for the 5ozers :

2008 Mouse : 3,005
2009 Ox : 4,720
2010 Tiger : 14,553
2011 Rabbit : 8,030
2012 Dragon : 31,664

You can clearly see the difference of mintage between the Dragon and the previous years
 
Thanks, there is one on eBay at the moment for $790.

I'm gonna leave it because it has a few scratches but it might be a bargain
 
Would someone be dumb enough to remove a 1/2 kilo coin from its original capsule? How else would obvious scratches be made other than through handling the actual coin?

it could be just an accident, dropped it, capsule cracked and the sharp edge injured the mouse's skin :P

buy a new capsule, but the injury could not be cured :(
 
Had a couple of 10oz coins arrived with broken capsules, ordered replacement capsules and carefully swapped them, the coins are still in immaculate condition

Perhaps instead of the 1/2 kilo, this would have been the best Mouse to buy in 2008.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Australian-...402?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item54004ac6ba

Truly a scarce coin. If only I could go back in time. :)

Well what would be a fair market price for this particular coin? I have sporadically (out of curiosity) checked for sales of 1 kilo proof lunar coins on the web but have not seen the Lunar Mouse listed for sale anywhere except this one seller. In comparison, the 2008 1 kilo silver proof Panda is a common coin. With a mintage of 4,000, it's a difference of 2239.181 % from the 171 minted kilo proof Lunar Mouse.

I would love to own the kilo proof Lunar Mouse; I could make an offer to the seller but what would be a fair marker offer for such a scarce coin?
