Your Trigos panda did well

 

I was really happy about that! DragonZeng sold his 70 on ebay for $580. That was the only one that has sold. Absolute stunner

Congrats on the PF70 Antiqued Dragon!  The swans as well.  Your results have got me pumped up for a submission next month with @Numistacker.  You've got to be pretty pleased with the gradings overall, right?  So you keeping both dragons or the PF70 and selling the PF69?  If I remember correctly, you said yours were the first to be graded by NGC?  I'd imagine you could sell the PF69 for a nice profit.  Congrats once again and thanks for sharing!

Yeah def very very happy! None others graded yet at NGC first 2. Only disappointment was 3 MS69 kookaburra. Still cannot complain

Im trying to figure out what to ask for the MS69 what does the community think its worth?

Given the detail and beauty of the high-relief, antiqued dragon (honestly, one of the best dragon coins I've seen), it's chunky 2 oz size, its mintage of only 1,000 pieces, a product of the Perth Mint (quality, quality, quality), and the fact that you don't see the coin much, I think the PF69 easily gets close to $250.  The cheapest I've seen the raw coin is $149 at Talisman Coins in Canada.  Because let's be honest, if the coin cost you somewhere around $150 plus the cost of grading/shipping and you could only get around $200, why sell it right now?

Ladies and Gents, if you haven't added this coin to your collection, you really are missing out (IMO).

EDIT: You know, I was just thinking...if you were to sell this on eBay for $250, eBay's going to take their 10% cut, PayPal's going to take their cut, and you'll probably have to offer free shipping.  Knock all of those deductions from $250 and considering what you've put into the coin, it seems you'd need to: 1) sell it for a higher price, 2) sell it to a forum member or 3) just hold on to it.

I've never been a fan of the look of "antiqued" coins. Even less impressed when I saw this Perth Mint video (for the Hera coin). The shot at 0:54 says it all for me.

I havent bought any antiqued coins yet, with the same reasons. I don't like the antique look, and I find it even more fascinating that the do get graded (even MS69 &70). When you can clearly see that the get cleaned and a polish, I will stick with the shiny stuff!!!

Though I've never used them, Power Coin appear to have the 2oz Antiqued Dragon in stock

Thanks

€159 now

[SilverSniper]

Think I just wiped-out the EMK stock of these dragons 

Edit:  Yup confirmed, EMK are now out of stock.

[Jester]

For anyone interested, Talisman Coins still has them for $149...I know shipping might be a pain across the pond but so would not having one, right?  Especially if you end up having to pick it up on the secondary market.  Just my high-relief, antiqued two cents 

[SilverSniper]

My order arrived from EMK today, they truly are a stunning coin.  I think they (and a batch os 1oz Swans) will be going off to Mr Numi for NGC grading.

hahah massive Scotch-Brite pad ..... and to think I'm worried about touching the coins too hard with a super-soft fluffy yellow duster!!  

[Jester]

MCM was late to the party on this one...AND they let NGC mislabel the slabbed coins!  This is a proof coin, not BU.  Wow.

Check out the description on Talisman (that does match the info on the coin I have in hand) and then how they have it on MCM.  Need further proof (yes, pun completely intended)?  Just look up in this thread at the coins @ShaolinStacker sent in and had graded.

BTW, you can still get these raw at Talisman but I did notice the price has gone up by about $40 USD (supply probably beginning to run low).
