So far Ive got a 1999 Rabbit and a 2006 Dog and suggestions on which one should be my next?

Remember these are the 2 ouncers

I'm born in the year of the horse so I have a separate 1/2, 1 and 2 oz silver set of the horse coins and just bought a 1/4 oz. gold horse coin. I bought many of these coins including my 1/4 oz gold horse from Jennifer. I'm excited to see my cute gold horse coin (that's for you Jennifer :wink: )

I was at a coin show 2 weeks ago and only 2 dealers had lunar coins. One dealer had lots of the silver coins and wanted $14 for 1/2 oz., $22 for 1 oz. and $38 for 2 oz. coins. They were in the plastic sleeves from the mint (I think there are 5-6 coins per sleeve) and I could tell he had sold quite a few since many of the sleeves were almost empty. I said :Sorry: NO SALE to those prices. I found only one dealer with gold lunars but only in 1/10 and 1/20 oz sizes, so I bought the 1/10 oz. tiger, monkey and snake for $70 each. He also had the rooster and goat and I think if he still has those at the show this Sunday, I'll grab those. I never planned on making a gold set but the 1/10 oz. coins seems fairly priced at $70 (no shipping of course) so what the heck.

Although the 2 oz. silver coins have unlimited production at this time, I don't think the Perth Mint will make these forever. When the set is complete, I do think these will hold value or increase with time. Right now, there seems to be alot of interest and demand for these coins. They are just such nice coins and add a nice variety to any coin collection.

A BIG THANKS to Jennifer for helping me complete my lunar sets at really great prices.
