PM Lunar High Relief Price Check

[Danny-boy]

Hi all,

I have just been offered the following:-

2012 1oz Dragon HR at £65

2013 1oz Snake HR at £50

What are the expert thoughts on the prices?

Cheers

Not an expert but Dragon is a very good price and the snake is a good price.  I would buy.

[ChrisSilver]

Current HR's are just over £50 I believe. So for previous years I think those are good prices. All you would need is the current year (horse) and future releases and you can collect the whole set

Personally I love the HR's. The 1oz diameter is similar to the 1oz gold roo bullion coin, but the silver coins are much thicker being HR. At first I thought the diameter was too small, but I have got used to them being that size now.

[Danny-boy]

Cheers gents.

Sounds like they are reasonably priced then but not amazing, I'll have a think about it.

Very good price mate.  Even for over here in Oz.

Snake issue price was AU$102.00 (£56.30), so you are getting it below issue.

Thanks Strenue, appreciate the input.

I'm just waiting for pictures to be emailed, I assume there is only one version?

Sorted out a HR horse to complete the set, cheers Chris.

Should have the first two tomorrow.

[Danny-boy]

Sorry forgot to update.

I bought the pair of HR's for slightly less than the original post.

That included SD delivery too.

[ChrisSilver]

Nice purchase there Danny.

Also got a 2011 Perth Mint HR kangaroo for the same price, £36 delivered.

Happy with that.
