That’s gonna look great in gold 

Agreed ... and looks like the mintage of the gold is down to 8888 this year from 20000 for 2019 and 25000 in 2018

As much as I like the 2020 verion I haven't bought because dealers are pricing these things as if the silver spot price didn't plummet.

It's £17.42 and if you buy a tube including delivery it comes down to £18.70 per oz. 

Give it a month or two and it's only a matter of time before they will need to get more realistic with their prices.

Just checked and basically the same price as I paid for the 2019 back at the end of January ... 

Price level i# very similar at LPM

Auragentum will currently pay €12.50 for any 2019 dragon bars you want to sell

I paid 16.17 euro per bar in Jan 2019, spot is now about 1.50 euro cheaper than the day I purchased and they are charging 19.62 euro.... 🤢

[Wouter06]

And now the price is 21,25 EURO.... Huge rise in premium! (for a 250.000 mintage coin). 

[StevenDS]

Wow, now €24,27. That's higher then the 2018 was when it sold out (€24).

If GSBE are charging £21.65 for the 2020 bars maybe I can sell my tube of 2018's for £30 an ounce 😅 What are these guys trying on.

Currently spot is about €13.40 and price is above €24.50 - this makes a tube of 20 basically €500 for spot value of about €270
Currently a 1981 proof sovereign (from Chards, no box/COA) is about €420 on a spot of about €350 - on a mintage of about 33 000

As stated earlier I am a big fan of these dragon bars, but if I have to spend my money right now, it will be on something more numismatic ...

GS.be only has 100 (5 full tubes) left of the 2020 bars. That's probably the reason for the increase. Their pricing is very much dependent on their stock level.

Today I sold my 2018 full tube for €25/coin and my 2019 full tube for €22/coin off forum.

Close up here, what's interesting is the face looks different to the graphic version. There are no sun rays behind the queen.

Got mine in the mail today. Absolutely breathtakingly magnificent. You have to get these. I regret ordering just 10. I should have got 50.

They are nice but have you seen the prices of them lately? I got the 2019 dragon last October for just over 18 euro. The 2020 cost over 22 euro now at the European Mint now that the spot is so low. If the prices don't come down soon as soon as more stock starts coming from the mint, I may have to give up this hobby.

Finally all together 😊

That is an impressive sight. Them gold bars are long-term keepers

[firestacker]

As this is basically the dragon bar appreciation thread does anyone know if they came out with a 2022 version?

Every year I check to see what designs they come out with. Doing a brief search it looks like they now just do it in coin form?

[Guest]

I don't think 2022 version has been released.  I like dragons on coins.  I like the concept of a bar coin.  So I started collecting them.  But I just have one of each.  Reading these comments, there are people with tubes of them and in gold even.  Apparently, I don't appreciate them enough. 😀

[west6]

2022 version is on pre order now. Also gold bullion version.

Wow!

[firestacker]

Is there going to be a 2023 version?

I must admit my favourite has always been the 2018 version. It's got an old timey feel to it. The others seem to remove some of that detail especially on the queen side.

[silvergaga]

Me too. Simple is best.
