The time has come!! The 3rd Lunar Panda design is almost complete. It will be the same designers for the panda and the lunar. In a few weeks, we will be sending a follow up email to show the renderings of the Rooster and the Panda on the wall. We've seen some of preliminary sketches, and are excited about what we've seen so far. We feel it is as good, if not better, than the first two in the series. As soon as we are given the okay to release the images, we will send them to you first.
We are now taking pre-sale orders. We are fairly certain that the mintage for the silver proof will remain the same at 499. It is 2 oz of .999 silver. The pre-sale price is $182.00. The price will remain intact, as long as spot price stays under 18.00. As an example, if silver spot price went to $19.00 per oz, and you didn't pay the pre-sale price, the price will be increased to $185.00. The presale price will last until June 30th. After June 30th, the price will increase. If you buy thru eBay, the price will be approximately $210.00, and our price on www.chinesemedals.com will be less than eBay (TBD).
We are asking for a 60% deposit, which comes to $110.00 per medal, in order to secure and take advantage of the lower price as compared to release price. Please note, you can order as many as you'd like (until supplies last). As many of you know, the Goat and Monkey have been very popular. And we are confident the series will continue to grow in popularity around the world. We've been told that the Rooster/Panda will be ready some time in Nov - just in time for the holidays. (subject to no delays in mint production).
PM with any questions, or if you'd like to secure one these Rooster Panda Medals.
We will donate $1 to WWF for every pieces of rooster panda sold. We will publish the donation proof in silverstacker.com and livebusinesschat.com.
Below you will find a brief history around the Shenyang Mint and the Lunar Panda Series. Here is a brief paragraph found in the document.
"Initially, the intention was commencing the series using the horse. However, due to the limitations of time in designing and planning, the quality of the medal would have been impacted. Also, the horse is ranked as number 7 of 12 Lunar, which 7 in mandarin means "fail" and "going" in Chinese culture, so all decided to delay and wait one year and commence the first medal on Goat year.
In additional of the above reason, Goat is ranked number "8"of the 12 lunar which means lucky and prosperous. The kindness story of Goat is another reason for us to pick the goat as first year of the Lunar for this series."
