[QUOTE="I.L. McDougal, post: 2217751, member: 74599"]I have made a decision to begin putting together a Perth Mint Lunar Series 2 set in MS 70, and I was hoping to garner some insight from collectors with experience in the series. I am not one to buy a label, so I will be avoiding the ER flag examples and be attempting to either get my own examples graded or find regular NGC MS 70. What would you suggest I focus on as far as cost-effectiveness of this set? Purchase already slabbed coins or go with grading fees on the odd encapsulated original? Also, I am having a bit of a disadvantage figuring out if I am able to purchase these at release from Perth or if the MS versions are part of a secondary market. (All I can find on Perth's website are Proofs) If these are only made available through distribution (which is fine), my question is 'when' is the best time to purchase these from the retail sellers? I have always liked this series from afar though I never really paid attention until the Year of the Dragon.. now I've decided I'm in. I would appreciate any insight before I begin my research. Cheers.[/QUOTE]
