Yes the Perth Mints new dragon series is exactly what your looking for. I've ordered the first coin and It looks great. Each coin has a story to tell.

The 2012 Sovereign (St. George and the Dragon) has a new design especially commissioned to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.  Here is the 2011 Sovereign.  |

I purchased the red welsh dragon in pf70 from ngc do you think they will hold value. It scares me buying 1 oz of silver at such a premeim when you can get ASE for a little over spot |

The dragon will be worth more than an ASE anytime in my opinion. |

Did you buy straight from the Perth? Do you know the date the next one in the series will be out?

I'd have to agree with the original post. I would prefer to get canadian coins on the dragon theme or maybe even an expanded Mythical Creatures set. Although I also have to agree with everyone else, the Australian set is gorgeous! :-) |

Only a handful of modern coins will ever have that kind of cachet. Although the mintage is similar and both are series firsts, it's just not likely that the Welsh Dragon will get to even half the value of the 2006 Spider. But there is no way to know if your coin will rise or fall in value either in the short or long term. It does help that the coin sold out in only a few days, which means it's at least highly sought after right now. Dragons are hot at the moment. It's possible that it might take another 12 years before we see another bull run on dragons. |

Agree with traevin I haven't bought that many dragon coins yet because I don't know if I would be able to buy them cheaper once the year is out and the craze kind of fades. That said, I love the Welsh dragon and definitely think that it will hold or even go up in value. I definitely want one myself.

Sure mintages and series firsts have some part to play, but that design is pretty awesome - you just want to own the coin. I guess if enough people want to own it, the price shoots up. Same goes with the Mongolian coins, those designs are just amazing. Before knowing anything about them, looking at poboxw's collection the owl stood out amongst a sea of other 1oz'ers. I like the Welsh dragon and the theme of that set, but it doesn't give me the same "must own" sense as those other coins. If it could get to half the value of the spider ($600?) that would be incredible to me. But hey I'm new to this. |
