I got mine for $48 about 6 months ago roughly. Its one bullion coin I really like despite the premium on spot.

The deal is really good!
When I searched for the Australian 1oz Year of the Dragon coin, the prices were 50 - 52 CAD minimum.

But...
there is a "problem" with this coin. Not a real problem, but still:
take a look on the same coin without a Privy mark - the fire ball, that the Dragon plays with it, looks much more nicer then the flat privy marked circle. And the non-marked coin has a lower mintage.

For the bullion purchase - go with the "Lion Privy", the original coin has big premium and tends to be "more numismatic".

Bought non-Privy for 80.00 CAD plus shipping

Actually, the non-marked coin has a mintage of 300,000. The lion privy has a mintage of 200,000. So the privy actually has a lower mintage. But some coin enthusiasts reject the privy on the grounds that the 300,000 was a promised mintage and they feel like the privy was a way to get around that promise and produce more coins.

I personally like them though.
