<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 2787487, member: 22377&quot;]I am a big fan of certain Perth Mint items, particularly the Lunar Series. These are released every year and feature lunar animals (something both kids and adults can like). The bullion versions are my favorite since they are a combination of collectible and silver. The premium upon release can be from $4-$10 over spot. This makes them more expensive than the typical Silver Eagle or generic round, but less expensive than the collector coins that Perth and other Mints issue. Some prior years have held their value or even increased, but some of the more recent years are close to original pricing or slightly lower. Still the downside risk of these tends to be lower than many of the other Perth coins that can be issued for $70-$100 and then only be worth $30-$50 in a few years.</p><p><br /></p><p>What makes these fun to collect is that the design changes every year. Unfortunately the Queen is always on one side, but at least the other side changes. These are available in multiple sizes (0.5 oz, 1, 2, 5, 10 oz , kilo, 10 kilo) and regular, colorized, gilded, and proof. There are also privy versions (which is a whole separate story).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples from 2017:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) Regular bullion 2 oz 2017 rooster ...the 2 oz size can often have the lowest premium (but not always)</p><p><a href="https://www.providentmetals.com/2017-2-oz-silver-year-of-the-rooster-perth-lunar-series.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.providentmetals.com/2017-2-oz-silver-year-of-the-rooster-perth-lunar-series.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.providentmetals.com/2017-2-oz-silver-year-of-the-rooster-perth-lunar-series.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(2) 1 oz privy 2017 rooster:</p><p><a href="http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/174916/2017-1-oz-silver-rooster-lion-privy-australia-perth-mint-limited-mintage-of-only-30000.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/174916/2017-1-oz-silver-rooster-lion-privy-australia-perth-mint-limited-mintage-of-only-30000.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/174916/2017-1-oz-silver-rooster-lion-privy-australia-perth-mint-limited-mintage-of-only-30000.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(3) 1 oz colorized rooster:</p><p><a href="http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/174913/2017-1-oz-colorized-silver-rooster-australia.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/174913/2017-1-oz-colorized-silver-rooster-australia.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/174913/2017-1-oz-colorized-silver-rooster-australia.aspx</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
