<p>[QUOTE="PeacePeople, post: 1293858, member: 20082"]Perth Mint limits the mintage of the 1oz bullion issue to 300k per year. The dragon is the most popular design of the series 1 issue and the dealers are taking full advantage of that. Right now the series 1 is selling in the $125 range or higher if you can find them. They are going to make a glut of these in the unlimited mintage issues for the next year, so I think a cautious approach would be prudent. </p><p><br /></p><p>Taking a quick look at the prices on release the 1/2 oz was $30, the 2oz $100, 5oz $180, 10oz was about $350 if I recall correctly. Right now the 1/2 $45, 2 - $135, 5 - $300 and 10 is about $500, and I passed on the kilo last week at $1060. I'm not sure what to say as they have another 10 months to make these sizes in unlimited quantities. I did buy the 1/2, and 2oz on issue and waited 2 months for delivery from my no longer good friends in OKC, ordered Aug 23 and took delivery on Oct 20th at the presell prices, then picked up a couple 10oz recently for $380. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just so you know the gilded issue at Perth's website is almost sold out and since the release of the gilded dragon the ox, rabbit and tiger have sold out and the mouse is close, just over 100 left. Lastly, you can order direct from the Perth Mint with free international shipping on orders over $75 until the end of the year. They just changed that, as it was orders over $300 for free shipping. Be careful as most credit cards do have foreign transaction fees and they can add up to a couple percent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
