Oct 4 who is still buying numi over BU?

OK spot is doing it's thing and the cashola I had stored up for numi dragons is looking like it would be far better spent on bullion. So the question is is anyone else thinking the same? Will the Perth mints prices reflect the cliff we just fell over? Has this downward movement killed the dragon mojo (saw some 1oz BU going for ~$70 on feepay)? Thanks for you thoughts and time
 
I collect Pandas, RAM Roos, Perth Lunars and Canadian Wildlife. I know these might technically be bullion but I consider them quasi-numis.
I found some good bargains on the Wildlife, but spot price isn't affecting the others nearly as much so I'm looking to pure bullion, which I happen to prefer bars based IMO the cool factor.
 
I just bought a ten oz dragon off Roo for 367$ lol

I think it'll hold value better than a bar.

That kind of deal is sooooo unavailable here. I can buy a 10 oz bar for 320 USD 327 AUD or
a 10 oz RABBIT for 510 USD 521 AUD

If I could buy 10 oz Lunars for a few bucks more than a bar I'd be doin backflips
 
Still a bit of interest in proofs but BU dragons have gone off the boil. Further drops might take the heat of proofs aswell?

Hmm.. I though Roo only does bulk deals? You must be special!
 
In Euroland I saw a sharp fall in Panda premiums and also Britannia premiums on Friday.
Dragons kept their price and 10oz increased - opposite to spot.
No idea why.
Certainly not due to too much sun.
 
Well it's tomorrow people, crash in spot seems to have dampened the dragon party. Anyone still going hard tomorrow? Am going to get the 4 coins and one of each of the others but I am still not sure about the hummer with gem eyes? Thoughts

Best time to be buying up proofs now imo, spot tank so some people are scared and willing to offload cheaper.

Will flip them on eBay later on when the Silver bull/dragon hype runs strong again.
 
noob question:

By typeset does it mean: 1x coin of each colour in 1oz.. eg. blue, purple, red, black etc... (so in total 9 coins of different colours) ??

If you mean the 4 coin typeset then

Bullion, Proof, colored, gilded I think.
 
Just managed to get a coloured dragon. $112.50

Will order some gilded as i've now been told they wont be released until Oct 24 not Oct 18 like I was told Sat.

I have seen the half ounce gilded ones on Ebay. A UK guy I think. Has gold rim and gold queen. Anyone else seen them? They look quite nice if thats what we are getting with the 1 ounce.

I emailed the Perth Mint last week about the coloured bulion coins, was told that they will be sale here next month and come in sets - not sold individually. I did see a black one for sale from a shop in Germany, but not that desperate to get one just yet.
 
I'm staying away from non-bullion or non-proof Dragons. As an investment, coloureds/gildeds are too much of a risk IMHO (compared with bullion and proof), especially with all the different colours and flavours being released this time.

However I am sure they will still be great looking coins.

Nope, I'm talking about the 9 coloured dragons at the bottom of the poster:

What do you call a set of the 9x 1oz = typeset?

NOTE: I got the poster from: http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-15654-color-dragon-poster.html
 
The one I got today is the proof red dragon in box with coa (10,000 mintage). :P Its a proof coin with only twice the mintage of the standard so it will be a good one. It does like very nice and makes the standard look a bit plain. Just my opinion. Doesnt look tacky either. I'll have 2 or more by tomorrow.

I think with so many of the other colours coming it will be tricky to buy ones that people want readily. i might get my fave colour and GF's fave but i think that will be it. Just looked at colours.Brown, yellow and purple dont appeal to me. A couple of others are a bit iffy too.

I thought they were being released tomorrow? So do you have it or just order it?

Any pictures to share?
 
Scorpion75 how come you have a coloured proof when they are not due for release tomorrow? Piccie?

and

Where does the info come about the "new" release date of the gilded as the Perth mint web site states that they too will be released tomorrow?
