Greetings, I hope this is in the correct section, if it's not please excuse my error. I will go on to say after receiving this in the mail today all I can say is "WOW". It's the MOST beautiful bullion coin I've ever received without a doubt. I think the seller made an error in the listing because it looks like a proof. The dust particals on Elizabeth's neck were blown off with compressed air after the picture was taken  This $1 Dollar 2004 Lunar Monkey is incredible.

It is the specimen version and not the proof one.  |

I would have to cast my vote for the 2002 Lunar Horse as the most beautiful one in the set!

I am rather partial to the 2000 Dragon coin in this series but they are generally a good looking set of coins

Hi Margaret......your wish is my command.. Here is a very high resolution photo of a 10 oz dragon. Have a look at the details of the scales on the body of the dragon, the bats on the scrolls....it is a very impressive coin. It is minted in 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 10 oz and 1 kilo. Check it out |

DOUBLE WOW! That is beautiful. Thanks Lim. I never realized how limited US coins were design wise. Not that some of them aren't beautiful coins but Australia seems to have a spectacular variety that is made just for the "wow" factor. I'm making notes! Thanks for posting the pic. Ya'll just keep em coming. Margaret |

My favorite Lunar is the 2005 Year of the Rooster coloured edition. You could of guessed by the avitar. Here is a better picture of this coin.   |

The rooster is beautiful.
I'm just a little wary though of coloured coins, where the print may lose it's colour saturation over time, like how some photos do. But then I suppose that can happen with anything, obviously metals discolour too.
