Beautiful photos mate! The closeup of the 1kg especially is stunning
 
Sad that the larger sized lunars like the 1kg Dragon dont attract the premium they deserve. You can pick up a 1kg bullion dragon for about $1,600 or a 1 oz for about $80. You can get a 2011 1kg rabbit for about $1,000 and a 1oz for about $35. So, the premium on the 1kg dragon over current silver coin spot is about 60% but the 1oz dragon is over 100%.

Things happened just another way around. Actually I picked three 1oz dragon recently with very low price (maybe only 20% over spot price) and I did pay a very big premium for that kg dragon.
 
A Dragon & the year 2000 = Chinese love affair. If you think $2k is expensive just wait 2 years or so.
 
Lionfishcoin, that 1kg coin is a stunner.

Can anyone shed some more light on this 1kg Lunar Dragon Diamond Eyes coin?
* Mintage is 5,000, however apparently only 500 were reserved by the PM for sale to Aussies. So this implies a fair few were sold overseas, i.e. not many in Australia? http://www.australianstamp.com/Coin-Web/aust/bulldec/silver/2000lki2.htm
* Is this coin considered more in demand than the unc or proof 1kg Lunar Dragon?
* Any idea as to the going rate for one?

Thanks!
 
I just found a Tangy source for this type of stuff, I could buy one of those 1kg lunar Dragons right at this moment for $1700 AU as a buy now, auction with four hrs to go has it at $1470 AU, Damn I wish I was not so poor.
