<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treehugger, post: 1464901, member: 28451&quot;]Hi Richard,</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference is the dragon privy has a miniature dragon struck on the kookaburra side of the coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pay no attention to the projected mintage, as the Perth Mint has recently proven they are willing to increase those numbers as easily as a person changes clothes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The privy is basically a marketing gimmick to sell more of a certain coin after the initial interest in the same coin without the privy has subsided.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, if you don&#039;t have the regular 2012 Kookaburra yet, I think you wouldn&#039;t hurt yourself too badly by purchasing the dragon privy.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are selling for about the same price online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kookaburras in general tend to sell for a decent premium and tend to maintain that premium.&nbsp;&nbsp; This trend may change somewhat, however, as the collecting public absorbs the Perth Mint&#039;s recent tendency to re-mint Kookaburras from previous years.</p><p><br /></p><p>All things considered, though, I don&#039;t think it would be a bad idea to purchase this, especially if you the like coin on its own merit, which I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
