"As many of you have noticed, we have suspended sale of the complete Lunar Series I 1-ounce gold coin sets. Simply put, we don’t have the Dragons to complete the sets. We have raised our bids on Dragons to 50% over gold value, and would take 100 coins at that level, but so far we are not finding many.
But we do have one piece of good news in the Lunar Series I gold coins: we are now selling, and bringing back quantity discounts, on our last consignment of 1-ounce coins for the nine animals which did not reach their production limit of 30,000 pieces: the 1996 Rat, 1997 Ox, 1998 Tiger, 1999 Rabbit, 2003 Goat, 2004 Monkey, 2005 Rooster, 2006 Dog, and 2007 Pig.
At this time, we have over 200 coins available for each year’s issue. They will be in our hands later in December. The Perth Mint has yet to announce final mintage figures while they are still delivering the last round of order, but we are given to believe that some of the remaining nine 1-ounce issues have been produced in quantities substantially below the 30,000 coin ceiling.>br>
So if you are looking for a bullion coin with the potential for future collector value, the Australian Lunar 1-ounce coins at today’s levels (barely more expensive than buying new Eagles or Maples) have to be the most enticing gold buy available.
We encourage you to take a look at our Lunar gold 1-ounce page and the new quantity prices which are available while supplies last.
And when we get word of the final Lunar Series I mintage figures, we will post them here immediately."
