[Tritoon01]

.....I'm waiting on the 2019 - 10 oz version.....as a follow up on the 2018......no need for a 3 oz version for me 😒 (but thx for the link @verrachi)

[verrachi]

I hope they come out with a 10 oz one  but not sure if they are going to be consistent about it... since there werent any 10oz 2017 nor any 3 oz 2018 @@

One talks about Korean Tiger series, other talks about  Ghana Leopard then suddenly one start talking about African Leopard  

I feel that someone needs to clean this mess

The title says Korean Tiger series. Comments about other series are actually off topic.

Regarding the Korean Tiger series in silver, there are actually a few other you have missed the 10 oz from 2018. The 1 oz proof version and the 3 oz version of the 2019 design.

Nice, anyone want to sell Korean tiger 2018 for 40 pounds plus postage?

[Tritoon01]

@Thesilverman500     I believe you can buy them cheaper from some dealers

Thank you, yes you are right I think bold precious metals has them for 38 dollars not where I am though

[Tritoon01]

check goldsilver.be => less then 40 euros....of course...shipping costs can be expensive if ordering just 1 coin.......but if you are looking for more coins, it might be an option

[Branman1986]

There's a placeholder for a 10oz 2019 Korean Tiger on Apmex now.  No mention of the 3oz though.  This series is going to start getting expensive to collect.

[Branman1986]

Good gravy!  Mintage of only 300!  I'm scared to see what the premium is.

[AgCoyote]

That premium is going to be ridiculous. The 10 oz. Chiwoos and 10 oz. Zi Sin Scrofas have massive premiums. I liked that in 2018 the 1 and 10 oz.  coins had different designs. The 10 oz. 2018 Tiger is the pride of my collection. 

[StevenDS]

The 2019 1 oz BU design must have sold very well for them to do a 1 oz proof, 3 oz BU and 10 oz BU in the same design.

The 10 oz came quite late for a 2019 coin.

I wish they would release the 10 oz 2018 design on a 1 oz coin. I would not be disappointed if that would be the 2020 1 oz version.

The 2018 10 oz Tiger is awesome and the premium is reasonable.

Apmex still has over 1000 2019 1 ozers and send to be plenty available elsewhere, so doesn't seem like it was an overwhelming success.  I like the design, but I guess it wasn't super popular

In Europe the 1 oz BU 2019 are nearly sold out everywhere.

European Mint: 4 coins

Goldsilver.be: 3 coins

Aurinum: 8 coins

Munzdachs: 9 coins

 

Aurinum is pricing the 10 oz 2019 same as the 10 oz 2018 at €298.

Wow, there's always such disparity between here and there.  I'd guess there are probably between 3000-5000 still available here.  We still have the Ghana Mammoths available here, too, and nobody really talked about them...

I really want to try to bring some stuff over when I come to Europe.  I'm heading to Sweden next month, I might look for things sold out there that are available here and roll the dice.

3000-5000 would be a lot given the 20K mintage. That's 15%-25% of the total mintage, unsold in US shops.

[Branman1986]

Just checking the first two major sites, Apmex has 1092 in stock and *probably* more after that, and JMBullion/Provident has 2091 in stock.  I stopped looking after that.

I'm someone who loves cats and big cats and especially tigers. I still haven't bought the 2019 yet. Eventually I will but I found the design to be very underwhelming but we all have our own individual tastes. Everyone on here who bought the coin has a favorable opinion of it so it could be one of those that look much better in hand than on the computer. A tiger is a magnificent creature, to me it's much better to see the whole animal in the artwork.

Is this not to do with Premium?  I dont know if this is a generalisation on my part but I associate US with primarily stacking while the EU market is a healthy mix of stacking / collecting.  Im assuming the premium is too much for US stackers who would think I can get 15 oz's for the cost of that 10oz.  

[Branman1986]

Possibly, but I think we invest here in semi numimsatics with decent premiums as well.  I dunno, maybe we got too much and Europe not enough?

That looks like like you may be right, I know the 2019 Chiwoo's were in short supply too over here.  GS.be sold out of them fast.  Maybe the US suppliers are hoovering up what are already low mintage coins.  I know these get snapped up by Koreans so they dont release a lot anyway outside of Korea.

2019 10 oz South Korea Tiger going for $316.83 USD on LPM

On Aurinum.... it's 328,00 €

[Branman1986]

Apmex just put in 2019 3oz and 10oz availability, $331 for the 10oz and $89 for the 3oz.  What an oddball size...but, after the 5oz QAR going for $350, doesn't seem so bad.  I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one each.

[StevenDS]

I wonder whether the Korean Tiger series will continue. SO far no 2020 design has been released. In 2019 I believe it was released in July.

With the new Korean Phoenix being released in July, I wonder whether it will replace the Tiger or just postpone the issue.

[Tritoon01]

yep, not seen any news on this 2020 design......and....still looking for a 1/4 oz gold 2019.....has anyone seen these/know where to order ?
