Tiger and Dragon Coming Soon!! See Pics

[barsenault]

All yours for the cheap price of 8k.

-only 500 minted 1500 Silver

-one yr. issue

-2 oz. gold proofs, only a few have ever been made around the world throughout history.

-struck in amazing high relief

-the single most Yin and Yang Chinese Lunar animal combination possible, the Tiger and Dragon.

- right in line price wise with other 2oz pieces I have seen over the last 3-5 years but with a significantly lower mintage paired with a much more highly sought after theme.

I'll definitely grab one of the silver ones in BU and or Proof if available, just because I like to have one of each that I like

1500 mintage for silver seems very low? Surely that's not right? I assume that's just for high relief?

 

[barsenault]

1500 proofs, although as BB said, I'm sure they will capitalize on the BU too...get the expensive one out of the way, then bring in the dump truck. Lol. I'll pass on them too. I'll do the Antique version since I have 1, 2, and 3...

 

[Silverman99]

Any known date for the release of the 1oz bullion version

 

[barsenault]

Nothing that I saw. The proofs this month some time.

Can you please post the gov mint link to the first day production coins

 

[barsenault]

Hmmm. I’m not sure I follow. This gold piece isn’t out yet. And this was a private email I got from someone at govt mint letting me know that 209 are for U.S., the rest go to china. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. What was the price they offered?

 

[barsenault]

8k for 2 oz of gold mintage 500, 209 available for US consumption. Over priced if you were to ask me...by a long shot. Lol.

Thanks. Do you know if this Was for first day of production coins? Or just normal early release

 

[barsenault]

I believe this is the price for all people. I got the early release email

PM announced release date for the gold proof Tuesday 5th June 2018 8:00am (AWST)

Perth Mint shows also the silver BU...

 

[Soprano16]

I don't mind that Silver version, although it does look a little cartoonish

Would be nice if they become available from late next week, because I'll be in Perth and be able to get some

 

[Silverman99]

Unable to see them on line for sale from here when I access the website, maybe only open to the Australian market as the mint can do in restricting the viewing of some coins

 

[Silverman99]

As I'm unable to view these on line would someone be kind enough to advise what the mint are selling these for and is there a limit per customer , thanks

The picture above is the screen shot

It says $99999 but it also says not available yet

They've since been removed from the site

 

[jultorsk]

^^Correct.
I think none of them is released yet, the gold proof release has been announced to be 5th June - haven't seen the release date for BU. I just happened to bump into the silver BU page (it's not visible by accessing the PM website), the page is "in progress" IMO and not yet official.

 

[Silverman99]

Thanks for the follow up guys much appreciated

 

[barsenault]

yeah, a little disappointed in the design, Leo, it does look a little cartoon'ish.
