Perth Mint Strikes 10 Kilo Gold & Silver Year of the Dragon Coins

[@Michael-xm4ux]

-"hi i'd like to buy this car today." -"ok what payment method would you prefer?" -"can i pay you in coins?"

[@dleetr]

It's interesting that i found the 'early result' to be far nicer aesthetically than the finished piece. It really gave the design some character, it looked sharper and the uneven background provided an characterful field to sit the design within.

[@Stevennickel]

The initial finish straight from the Press looks 10x better than the polished coin.

[@angryjalapeno]

The polished version looks like a cartoon of its former self.

[@anthonysaponaro6318]

I don't think so but beauty is in the eye of the beholder . . . it is nice though, you know what , send me both versions :)

[@IrixGuy]

I need to add a few of these to my stack!

[@patthecat1800]

I tried to use these in a pay phone once. It didn't work out so good.

[@joshkeitz2990]

that 10 kilo gold round has a value of over $420k not including the premium

[@mitcheld123]

$627k in sept,. 2020 money.

[@newdefsys]

Hey Mr, can you spare some change ? But, seriously. The premium on this coin has to be thru the roof, compared to an equal amount of simple cast bars from RCM, or Johnson Matthey...

[@WizardofTacoma]

To give you a comparison as of today's date 6/20/2014 the 2013 Australia Lunar Year of the Snake 10 KILO 999 Silver BU Maximum Mintage 200 is valued at US $10,788.00. The 10 Kilo (321.5 oz) Silver, multiply 321.5 oz today's price of silver or gold and you'll have the metal value, then you have to add the buyers premium, and collectors value on top to come up with a true value.

[@JohnThomas-th6gm]

Wow thanks for upload!!

[@someoneelse.2252]

I'v already ordered three. Just waiting for arrival.

[@someoneelse.2252]

Hey Max... loosen up. I was being ridiculous (and jealous) I may add.

[@sstacker1]

Wow! Both of those are incredible!

[@Ffollies]

That gold coin is worth more than my home

[@williamhutsul894]

you need a wheelbarrow to push this to the beer parlour

[@haleiwahi27]

I guess they put a hole in the coin so you could wear it around your neck as a pendant!

[@nomadicfenceman509]

Todd White No No No, HELL NO!!!.... It snaps into a bezel for crying out loud.

[@english_albanian_translator]

HAha!!

[@kalfaxplays7899]

there's no hole in the coin look again.

[@miraclehip8613]

Dude that year of the dragon coin is *T H I C C*

[@benzintrinker5821]

i wonder how hot those coins get under such pressure.

[@helenahughes8562]

How can u buy the silver one

[@jayrush01]

10kg is 22 pounds for all those people stuck in the 1700's... (Americans)

[@vermacoinscollection6698]

Nice

[@williamhutsul894]

thats a helluva lot of pocket change!

[@cmcleod11131975]

I love to have just a kilo silver coin, can't imagine a ten kilo coin, but looks very nice

[@mykittenisagrandmaster4381]

Does anybody know what the issue prices were for these 2 coins?

[@drwho6908]

A true joy to behold!

[@SilverFalcon460]

quite t/ slab of gold/silver. i'll take one of each pls.....how much?!?!

[@Ronbo710]

I'm waiting for PT 950 :D !!

[@TheyRiseBand]

"And then, there's the 10 kilo Dragon coin, made from 99.99 percent pure tungst... er...gold."

[@thierrylegoff3788]

At the end all the coin surface is... frosty, I would have prefer the usual Reverse Proof !! I wonder what they use to make this frosty effect because just after strike we can't see it on the coin.

[@107Ryebread]

That's what I was doing in my head too. Damn. I would rather have it in one ounce rounds and fractional gold coins.

[@hOtneO]

That's crazy they made a separate machine to make a one-off piece that won't even be for sale. Then the machine gets taken down after the coin is made. What they should do is put in a pancake and sell the edible replica at the gift shop. Roll it and fill it up with ice-cream in the dragon waffle cone.

[@Mr.Siyakuz]

nice channel

[@williamhutsul894]

got any change?

[@OffGridInvestor]

i may actually be able to afford the silver one as part of my self managed superannuation fund. realistically though I am likely to just get a bunch of their 100 ounce cast silver bars.

[@plasticdadaii8225]

Why the hole at the end?

[@kaboomwinn4026]

It not a hold it a mirror Polish ball

[@punchline43]

@@kaboomwinn4026 English please.

[@kalien9990]

why they put the hole in the coins. does that mean they are not legal tender?

[@NathanChisholm041]

kalien9990 So you can see its solid and not lead filled

[@angryjalapeno]

It's the dragon's pearl; it's a deeply mirrored surface that reflects black.

[@Sheograthkiller]

That gold coin is jizzington central!

[@darcybrawataakaontariostac6835]

All i can say is WOW!!!!!!

[@AgBlizzard]

Dear Santa...

[@joshhankey8009]

Donald Trump has America's entire Fort Knox/U.s. Treasury at his unobstructed disposal.

[@commentresurrection1841]

The silvers are at about 5000 dollars now....get one while theyre cheap!!

[@res1492]

imagine how big the soda machine would be for that coin...

[@scottfree6479]

It wouldn't give you a coke it would give you a coke factory

[@Sarov452]

The gold one.

[@camrocian7230]

I mean I have some change

[@carzg6949]

That thing that's supposed to be the finished pure gold masterpiece looks like crap, it looked better before they messed with it! It actually doesn't look like the coin at all, more like the casting used for the design.

[@kalfaxplays7899]

i want a gold coin like that xD

[@markpeselli9639]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@nicholaspelkey7972]

Walk in to buy something worth $300 buy with giant silver coin

[@alenp5187]

I’ll take the yellow one ☝️

[@Bryce_C.]

They ruined it with the finish

[@henrikpersson1962]

What is the point of minting such an unpractical coin? Is it just to show off?

[@scottfree6479]

I'd like 3 plz

[@strattuner]

they put the hole in it to assure you it is pure through out,they even give you the pieces that fill the hole,if a thief stole that they couldn't run far,esp the gold one lol,no thanks i'll take the 1933 and earlier us coins

[@jayethier4392]

there is no hole in the coin haha.

[@blastomycosis]

There is no chance of it being fake until it is sold for the first time, so no holes will be drilled until the first buyer sell it, probably not even then, a sound machine could test it without the need to drill.

[@ravnwood]

That's not a hole, it's where they polished the silver to a mirror finish. On the silver coin they show one side (no "hole") then the other that looks like it has a hole. Play back to them pressing the gold coin and you'll see the "hole" prior to polishing. It's a raised area in the design of the dragon. The next shot is of the finished gold piece and they've polished the "hole" in the dragon to a mirror shine. Not sure why, other than to give it some luster.

[@Nordichabs]

why would you robbed someone who made a honest fortune? what is moral about that?should we live in fear and seclude ourselves from society? you make no sense.

[@AnixCo1990]

Why?! I know most poeple that have this kind of money r scumbags, but the silver 10 kilo coin is way more affordible than the gold one, I would imagine it to be in the $7000-$9000 USD price range.
