<p>[QUOTE="PeacePeople, post: 1508771, member: 20082"]You need to realize something very basic.

If you pay spot + $3 for a silver eagle, and that is about all it will return based on historical performance, 1996 not withstanding, then your investment is tied to spot and spot alone. The lunar coins are still tied to spot and the premium is more per coin, but their performance as a ROI surpasses the eagle by as many times as you can fold a piece of paper.</p><p><br /></p><p>You need to look no further than the 2009 lunar ox and 2010 lunar tiger and your thought is so off-based that it's really not a debating point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the OP's question about the 1oz vs 2oz dragon. The 1oz size has a mintage limit of 300,000 coins. The series 1 issue dragon was and still is the hottest and most expensive of series 1 and commands the most premium even though it has the highest mintage of the series. The 2 oz has no mintage limit and therefore does not have the perceived limitation of the 1oz. The other thing is most coins are available in that standard 1oz size, so since the size is standard, many don't see going outside of the standard unit of size. That 2oz dragon is a good buy, so are the rabbits at about the same money, IMO. You might not be able to sell them next week, month or year and see a nice return. Based on historical info you should realize a nice return down the road.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
