[QUOTE="PeacePeople, post: 1777605, member: 20082"]Actual facts and stuff... The 1oz Perth Mint silver Lunar Horse has a mintage max of 300,000. If you go back to last year, the snake was released with a premium of about $8, and that premium held for about a month, then in went up to $10, then $12 and now they're hard to find for under $40. If you go to the dragon release, which was a bad joke, you'll notice that they were in the $80 to $100 range on release. You can now but them from Gainesville coins for about $40. That was a bad joke, mostly caused by the popularity of the lunar 1 series dragon, and people pestering the dealers and the mint about the release up to 1 year earlier than its scheduled release. Net result of that is the release was much anticipated and people bought the hype that it would be the next latest and greatest in the line of easy flipping money, so the dealers took that out of the plan with $100 per 1oz coin. Now, the next part is a bit more obscure, but if you look at the tiger and ox, they're holding their values very well, and are selling for $60 to $90 currently. Then take into consideration the next in line releases, rooster, monkey, dog, ram and pig, then decide which has the most potential for future resale appreciation. I'm not 100% sure, but if I were a betting man, the only one that has a remote shot at the potential of the horse would be the dog, and I wouldn't count on it. The last thing I'll mention is that the design is good, in my opinion. I guess you can choose to pay now, pay later or pay never....but I don't know that it will get any better....besides, I'm sure you've blown $40 on something much more lame than this.[/QUOTE]
