oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 11:52 am I picked up my first "non-round" silver a couple days ago and wanted to play "show and tell". While this bullion piece does not state the fineness or weight, I think that it is "neat-o". What do you think? (sellers images) Edited by oih82w8 01/10/2013 1:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Lostwords Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 11:54 am It is not bullion. It is a numis coin but it is a nice series. Out of all of the lunar series from RCM, I find this one is the nicest. Report this Post to the Staff

Lostwords Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 12:53 pm How much did you paid for it? Edit: if you go the link that Jerry_B provided, The original package comes with a nice case and COA for it. This is was sent to get it graded.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 1:02 pm $100 postpaid. I saw a few listings on the "bay" for the original packaging and COA for a little bit more, but the seller and I go back a few transactions. BTW: the hyperlink store is "Awaiting Stock".

HaroldS Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 1:19 pm I was amazed at the Canadian coin mintage increases shown in my new 2013 North American Coins & Prices. They are making a bundle on .9999 oz of silver. Pretty, but not for me. I can just visualize my LCS giving my wife spot or even less for these types of coins. Especially if it doesn't even identify bullion content. Report this Post to the Staff
Lostwords Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 3:01 pm It is not a bullion coin. It is a numismatic coin thus the premium over the spot price. Report this Post to the Staff

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 6:51 pm Yes, the coin is numismatic issue. I also bought this one, but near it's issue date. The Dragon is my year, and I amazed by the coin. BTW, the previous Scallop issues - Tiger and the Rabbit were maid of .925 Silver, while starting from the Dragon, and now the Snake - they are from fine .9999 Silver. Well couple of month ago, I decided to collect them all. And the Tiger bought near the issue price, while the Rabbit is rare, and I got it with serious premium... Anyway, I happy with this series - the use of the coin space just great on them! Report this Post to the Staff
