PM Griffin "Mythical Creatures"

i bot this coin this morning... pm server was rather slow when i order... so i believe there's q strong demand for this coin....
 
It kinda the same pattern as the 3 headed dragon. Sold out in a day or two. Will see if it continue to follow the trend of having tons available in secondary market for same if not lower price
 
Now the Griffin is out, I really like it. But after buying bullion on payday do I really need this? Still undecided.
 
Well I bought one. The second wave at the mint are still available.

Did a budget first before purchase of course. Now to hide it from the wife when it arrives....

The closest to this series recently was the Dragons of Legend. First in series was the Red Welsh Dragon, a recent listing on eBay doesn't look like it even got a bid for $100.

IMO it would be a big punt to buy the first in this series expecting to be able to quickly flip for $150...

Red Welsh Dragon still selling for at least $127.5 on flea bay. Where did you see $100 or so? I need one, Talismancoins cheated on me, I missed it. Do not want to pay anything more than $110 for it:D

Looks like the market is cooled down, NOT much flippers. Perth Mint has NOT even put any limit on purchase:D

I think flippers should buy more 1/2 oz Forever love coins, that one should be more popular

The sad part is new collectors that new to the games does not realized how difficult it is to flip some of these coins. They forgot there are fees on ebay and paypal they have to consider. a coin $115 + ebay and paypal fee, you need to sell over $130 to break even. Plus, don't forget on ebay, you are competing with powercoins and other dealers that get the coin for less than 115 and listing on ebay is cheaper for them as they own a store on ebay. Nothing wrong with buying these coins if you like them and don't want to pay via secondary market.

I think you are right. At the moment the lowest prices on flee-bay are Power Coin and Talisman Coins with same price $119.95; Actually Power Coin is also offering free worldwide shipping for this coin and 96 pieces left. Until they have these prices will not be easy to flip them.

I will order directly from Perth mint, even though that means I will need to spend A$400 for free shipping. I would rather let Perth Mint make more money, than the dealers like Talismancoins:D
 
I think that Talisman Coins have the worst customer service and reliability, but I think they have best coin description, they decribe all single detail you find on the coin with images, history, facts etc.
I would not buy from them after so many bad experiences I read on the forum, but I have to admit they have best coin description :)

Totally agree. I refuse to buy anything from Talisman coin. If you buy their pre-order... good luck getting the coins you ordered if it becomes hot. I used their website mainly for informations. hehe.
 
Well may not have been such a 'smart' buy. 4 days on sale and it is still Available from the mint, as opposed to say the 3 Headed Dragon which sold out quickly.

As long as it looks good when I take possession of it :)
 
I also liked this coin and I think its a bit soon to know which way it will go. The numbers available are not big (BB-20 coins was 35 yesterday) - I remember the tassie tiger which was avialable for weeks after release. I was in the rare coin company getting flips and they had 3 on the shelf - I bought them all for $92 each. We need to wait a bit longer.
 
ronny is definatly right , i thought as soon as i saw this series that its too early to tell if its a winner or not, its unique and an alright design but i think its really going to depend on the second coin of the set.. but theres some interesting coins in this set : unicorn, phoenix, wherewolf and dragon, i think the dragon was a bad choice, ive had enough of them
 
Here is a photograph (although not without some Photoshop) which is closer to the actual finishes on the coin.
