<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 4745412, member: 22377&quot;][USER=90913]@JeffC[/USER] the last coin has to do with the timing of the Perth Mint Lunars. They decided to begin Lunar series 2 in 2008 but still had not finished Lunar series 1. So several coins were issued in 2007 To represent the 2008-2010 Lunars for series 1.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/1215-lunar-tiger-im-confused/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/1215-lunar-tiger-im-confused/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/1215-lunar-tiger-im-confused/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>“A Unique Closing to the Lunar Series Silver Coins</p><p><br /></p><p>...To bring everyone up to speed, The Perth Mint began production of the gold Lunar Series coins in 1996 with the year of the Rat, but did not produce silver Lunar Series coins until 1999, with the year of the Rabbit. Now, The Mint is going to close the Series this summer, with the last day of ordering being June 25, 2007.</p><p><br /></p><p>So that collectors of the silver Lunar Series coins can have all twelve years of coins, The Mint is going to produce those missing three years, the 1996 Rats, the 1997 Oxen and the 1998 Tigers after taking final orders. The coins will be consistent with the other nine coins already minted, with one slight difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>The nine already minted carry their coinciding Lunar Calendar dates on the reverse, and so will the three yet to be produced. However, the obverses of the three coins will have 2007 on them. The Mint will produce seven sizes of silver coins for the three years.“</p><p><br /></p><p>And some more info here:</p><p><a href="https://agaunews.com/portfolio-items/perth-mint-lunar-series-i/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://agaunews.com/portfolio-items/perth-mint-lunar-series-i/" rel="nofollow">https://agaunews.com/portfolio-items/perth-mint-lunar-series-i/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
