Perth Mint Will Consider Back Minting Lunars Depending on "Interest"

Auroa-Et-Luna -> Are the dealers getting the Mouse for $40 a coin or are they being discounted?

On the Perth Mint blog Ron Currie said there would be an announcement if there is going to be more Lunars minted. No announcement as yet.....

I wonder what they will do about the Ox ? The Mouse is selling for $40 a pop but you can still buy an Ox from APMEX or other places for around $35 a coin so I wonder what their pricing will be?

Haven't got my invoice yet, so delaying my plans to dump at least 10 x 1/2 boxes. Will probably do it first thing tomorrow morning.
As far as I am aware the Perth Mint is flogging them wholesale at around the same price as Kooks. Will know for sure tonight.
Will just keep a box and break it up into smaller parcels for my regulars.

I don't believe the Mouse, Ox or Tiger have reached their limit of 300,000 nor do I believe these Mouse coins being sold now are recently minted.

IF the Mint was going to start to remint the Mouse, Ox or Tiger they would have announced it.

These coins they are now selling I would think have been buy-backs made by the Mint, that is, people have sold their coins to the Mint and the Mint is now selling them. ie. no change in the quantity in existence.

As for the 1kg coins, like you'd be going near them! 100,000 1kg Kook, Lunar and Koala 2011's have already been sold - there will be zero numismatic premium on them in years to come.

How do you explain this then (bottom box)?

I can make more photos, I have lots and lots of Lunar coins, I always replace old ones with fresh ones when I replace my stock. :D

That's a bit of cheating... technically they're not suppose to mint a coin today and back-dated last year or 2 years ago.

No, technically they're given an allowance to mint a set number of coins with a particular design and year date.

Since the allowance doesn't expire until that set number of coins has been minted, they can make them whenever they like.
