New Dragon - Privy Mark

[ninteno]

Hi,

there is a new 2012 BU Dragon with a special privy mark. Mintage 200.000 pcs. Looks like PM want to destroy collectors market
with another kind of Dragons. Offered in Germany for 34,49 - http://www.silber-corner.de/index.php?page=product&info=1098

I think a lot of poeple that paid a lot of money for their Dragons could be angry about PM decision to blow the mintage.

Is that a Perth Mint applied privy mark or aftermarket?

Ugly the way the Perth Mint twists the truth, misleads and treats as fools its own customers.

Yet another coin to tie up the Perth Mint machinery.

Mintage 200,000 :/

Hmmm

 

[ninteno]

I think it is a PM product. I can not imagine somebody has 200.000 pcs to destroy with this privy and sell it to a much lower price than a standard BU.

Given there is a mintage of 200,000 of them and the plain bullion version was 300,000, pretty sure its a Perth Mint effort.

Didn't hobo-jo call it out here? Looks like a perth mint product to me.

Indeed hobo-jo did call it. The privy is of a lion it seems.

This is like history repeating itself.

Privy kooks anyone?

 

[Matthew 26:14]

Clearly someone needs to clarify with the Mint the 200k ? And whats a Lion got to do with anything for it to be the privy ?

I have asked for clarification on the perth mint blog here:

... Waiting for the comment to be approved.

^^^ Guarantee their response will be either:

a) no response OR

b) something cryptic to add to their usual deception with something like "they are made on a mint to order basis with a final mintage released at the end of the series".

As someone who didnt manage to get any 1oz dragons, I'd sure like some of these...

Isnt in chinese culture, lion represents the gatekeeper and the dragon means to be the strongest mythical creature?
So the pair matched?

Btw wouldnt privy silver coin value higher than normal bu in the market?

 

[thatguy]

there will soon be more dragons then the 7 billion people on earth

If you cannot create a set with them, I would say .... No.

As someone who didn't get any 1oz dragons and went through absolute hell on earth, just to place an order for a now worthless rectangle dragon set. I couldn't give a flying fruit cake about dragon releases anymore.
