again some available at GS

True and the price from €27.83 is now €32,07  😕

[Gildeon]

Does anyone know why this particular coin has tax unlike most of the others?

[muenzdachs]

It is not a coin, just a medal as no official currency

Therefore different taxation

[danmc82]

Now £29.15 at GS.BE

I have observed their price rise. I saw them first on LPM. If I recalled correctly, in just short period , they pushed the price up 20-30%. 

APMEX had them on sale after LPM has pushed up the price. APMEX started at 30+ usd and shortly raised the price to 41+.

Till today LPM pushed up the price 50% from start, APMEX did 30%.

All dealers have been doing the same price raising scheme. We can have a good price only if we see them on the first day they put

the coin on sale.

I am still wondering why APMEX had in on sale after LPM. For the 1st one, I got them from APMEX, the later from LPM. 

These 8 silver dragons would be a great series. The coins look much better in hand, stock photo does not give a good justice.

All the places I knew that were selling before have sold out. Unless someone knows anywhere else Im not sure. Ebay is probably the easiest place to source one in the uk.

Or post a wanted add in the classifieds.

That can’t be real. They had thousands when it was first listed

[spanit]

Probably they have more. Just input a big number, there were 12 left.

I think I saw Kuang Tung silver dragon photo at this forum. Will it be the third series?  Also I noted many coins were reverse strike.  I wonder why?  

[Jimmy]

Apmex sold out the 2018 Tientsin silver dollar re-strike.  The second series ended this evening.   Now let’s wait for the third series to come.

[KevinG]

Kind of disappointed with Aurinum. I thought I was getting the Tientsin dragon dollar restrike and they have send me two more Kiang Nan dragons.

Kiang nan dragon worth more , then why not ?

[Jimmy]

Recently apmex restock Tientsin silver dragon and up its price to $54.99 on eBay.  While kiang nam is out of stock.  The average price on eBay is almost the same for both.  Just one dollar different.

[999magnum]

Apmex sold out of this round 3 times that I saw myself(probably more times). Everytime they came "back in stock", they were a few dollars more. It's up to $44.99 US now . Unethical would be the nicest word for them.

[Jimmy]

Since apmex is selling $45 and at eBay $55.  The average buying from from dealers should be between $35 to $40.  I think Tientsin should push price higher than kiang nam.  Because they all roll,out 5,000 only.  And in real coin.  Written with Manchu empire is much much fewer than written with emperor name on it.  Emperor name shown on the coin almost issue by every province.

[Jimmy]
