Looking for complete set of Series I 1oz Gold Perth Mint lunar coins...
This used to be available in a presentation box on Apmex but was sold a little while ago.

Has anyone seen recent sales of the complete set or does it need to be done by purchasing the singles? Ballpark figure for the set?
Mate wants a set, I told him to buy bullion.... he knows best.

TIA
 
I vaguely recall one complete set being sold here for at least 18000? But that was quite a while back.

I'm trying to complete a set mysel but I might just give up on it!

Hiho or someone else broke up a set and auctioned them off (early 2011?). Also, a dealer (Ozzie?) sold some sets. But those sales were before the great fall in gold price and I don't think I have read about any sales in the last 2 years. You should be able to put a set together for spot + US $2400. With patience, maybe less of a premium. Some of them are available here in America, but my best source stopped carrying the S1 lunars when the company was bought out.

When gold goes higher, I am sure some sets will become available.

Here is an ebay listing for the box.

agree its usually cheaper to buy them in singles. takes work and can be a pain at times.

buying in a set is nice as they are rarely removed from box. meaning capsules and coins are usually pristine condition. Which is always nice for collectors :) Personally I love them!. I just got my hands on a 1/10 gold oz proof set. Which is a real beauty

yeah a couple years ago i know as US dealer had one on its website for like 16,000- 18000. it sold!

if you ever need some 1 oz gold ones. I may be able to get some. Premiums about 25% + shipping.

The link has been removed from stackers but we sold over 30 sets i think 1.5 years ago.
At around $21,280.00 when spot was just under $1620 an oz. It worked out to be just under 10% above spot.
At the time it was a bargain, a great deal.

here is an article Bullion Baron wrote about it

Based upon the dates of the comments, it looks like the sales were in February, 2012. The good old days when gold was above $1500USD.
