Apmex Special On 2017 Perth Mint Gold Swan Right Now 1283.09 On Ebay

? gold swan ?
Western Australian swans (the real ones), are black !

Western Australia is famous for them.

That explains why the Perth Mint has featured it on a coin.

I was dragging my feet on The Swan... I looked at various coins, looking for designs that looked good, low mintage, were not common and they are NOT marked up crazy high.... I was going to get a 1 oz Korea tiger after being super happy with the 1/2 ounce and I turn around it pretty much sold out,, so I was like hmmm

I thought about the Libertad 1 oz for this year but after comparing data, looking at numbers, mintages, there is nothing unique about that coin other than it is a low mintage but NOT a key date. Dealers are just marking it up since there is a frenzy this year on 2017 Libertads I think of collectors are assuming ALL Libertads are key dates this year...

I first got my doubts on the gold swan after seeing a few auctions that came in BELOW that price APMEX was offering, I am VERY SKEPTICAL of purchases coins that are commissioned by a dealer OR only sold through an exclusive dealer.

after compiling price data, sentiment and comparisons, it was the price drops that made sense to me.

They probably just put a lower price initially to get interest then raise it. I always keep an eye on Scottsdale Mint on ebay. Every once in a while they offer their 10oz Silver Stacker Bars almost at spot price, but after selling some they will jack the price way above spot like they currently are.
