Haven't series begun with 2010 tiger in 2009? Then it should end later, in 2022 I think.
My favorite is also tiger (also born in year of tiger). Beside that would also buy tiger although it looks like it came from cartoon
, horse, snake, maybe rabbit and mice. All other are less interesting for me. The problem is that every time Lunar year changes there is so many coins with same animal.

I would think dealers would get the coins from the Perth Mint for a lot less than retail price?

well saidbut u really think so?u think there will be s3?
Absolutely will be S3...no doubt...why wouldn't there be? They make a fortune.
why members have a hard time to sell them horses? and the prices are reasonable...if the horse is considered the second most sought coin in the series after the dragon and not selling what is going to happen to the rest? spot really needs to make a move!
The Tiger is the most sought after coin followed by the Ox and the Dragon.dragafem said:
Currently the mouse and rabbit are still fetching higher premiums so on popularity the horse is just one rung above the Snake.
The key dates to hold in the Lunar 2 series is the Mouse, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit as their mintages is supposedly held to 300,000 coins + a limited amount of 1oz special versions.
The Dragon is a popular animal however with a guessestimated mintage of 700,000+ of the 1 oz Dragon in its various guises, it's going to take a while before we see shortages.

1. horses are hard to sell at $38 coz dealers have these at stock at lower prices, so please do not compare it to mouse, tiger, dragon, etc - i.e. coins that have long been gone. We can start comparing horses to mouses in 2015 - that's when horses will start riding, until then be patient. As soon as APMEX and alike sells the last horse - then it will be obvious if horse is a fail or not
2.I think the rank in near 5 years will be: tiger, ox, dragon, horse, the rest
3. key dates for me are ox and tiger - the rest are just semi-semi-numiz

why would u put the variations in here? they are not part of the lunar set. the set only includes the 1oz bullion version,no privy,no nothing. So I'd say dragon first and then the rest.more than a billion people in China and they love dragons.I'd put the tiger up there with the dragon but dont like the design.
I've noticed the slow down too, it seems like people may have just spent all they had for the month. Give it a month or two for some money to flow back in and the sales start moving again.
Definitely a good time to buy.
Greg Williams said:I understand what your saying about the privies. But say someone wanted to collect the whole set, wouldn't that include the prives or not...just asking - I know they aren't part of the original set, but say a collector is compiling a set of anything else, are they gonna want the variations of the years? Just like they collect say 3 different mintmarks of the same year?dragafem said:
side note: I know im still a noob...but from what i see...its the dragon>tiger>ox>rabbit - - - but I reckon horse will be...dragon>tiger>horse>ox
Cant wait for next year = goat:lol:
if they want the variations too,that would be dragon again..so many of them to collect.some hot ,some not..problem with the privy,to collect the whole set,the mint should go back and mint the mouse and the others but i doubt that will happen.
Not everyone are set collectorsdragafem said:
A lot of people buy only one coin because they were born in that particular lunar year
If a privy is $20 cheaper, there is a good chance they will buy that one instead of a regular uncirculated
With the earlier coins, supply is tighter as there isn't 200000 privies choking sales
