Long gone, i think they already had a small pre-sale, i might be wrong, but am sure they were spotted and sold soon after

I never was notified from APMEX and I give them lots of business.

I'm not sure America are getting many of these, as with the Rwanda Rooster, 40 out of 100 went to a German dealer

That is one HUGE allotment to one dealer. Smells fishy to me.

Didn't Apmex get a big allocation of the Swans? Sounded fishy to me when Apmex got so may of the swans too  Made in Germany, so of course German dealers are going to get the largest slice of the cake

Didn't you say one dealer got 40/100 bu gold?

How do you know they are made in Germany?

Lol, didn't you realise that they were made in Germany?

Yeah, from the Mayer Mint LOL

Don't believe everything you are told wise one.

You seem to be pretty switched on with these shortstack.  When will we see the lunar dog released?  I'll be interested to see what it looks like and try and get a silver one and maybe even a gold one if I can get in quick enough

The rooster is super nice so I hope whoever they are that they continue the series well

[Sal]

My German  source is pretty solid (maybe not as much as yours) but it doesn't really matter I guess. How many gold Santa Maria's did you get?

[Sal]

Someone said there are pre release photos out on the year of the dog. True shortstack?

[silversky]

Yeah the mosaic style is awesome so it's good to hear that.  If you know the mint then I guess you must have been sworn to secrecy.  hahaha fair enough if that's what they want to keep a bit of mystique about the origin.  Which dealers will be getting them?  I know that munzdachs sells them and also gs.be but they arrived and were sold out between the two times I checked them and that was only a few days apart.

[Sal]

Don't think shortstack knows the mint he just knows which mint it isn't. It really is a big well kept secret I guess.

[silversky]

Thanks Shortstack.  Will check them out.  Look forward to an update Saturday if you get any more news.

[silversky]

Good plan.  Just looked at JMbullion website and they clearly state that the manufacturer is the Mayer Mint for the Rwanda coins.  Not sure but you would imagine they would just not quote it if they weren't 100% sure.  Maybe they changed half way through or something but I very much doubt that.  Just noted that they don't sell the rooster at the moment so cant tell if it is the same mint or not.

The Mayer Mint would be correct.

[Sal]

Not really. APMEX says some German mint. 

[silversky]

Hahaha.  I just looked on the auragentum website.  It says "different" under manufacturer for the Nautical ounce gold coin.  Out of stock of course

[silversky]

Who is the dealer that has some in presale for a crazy price?  Be good to know in case I miss the boat on the day they are released for sale.  Thanks

No not true, all you see is the same REV as the rooster, but no dog image, it just states picture to follow for the dog side. This dealer is hedging his bets and has had 26 of them listed I pre sale for a silly price of which he has sold 2 in 2 weeks. They will be cheaper than his price by a good couple of hundred euros. Attached is the email I received from Bernhardt Mayer

What is he asking for the dogs? 1750 Euro? I think they can be bought for 1425 Euro shortly.

[Sal]

Maybe a mint in Hong Kong 

[Sal]

You have convinced me shortstack. Hitting the sack. Good conversing with you. 

[silversky]

Just seen that the silver African wildlife is made by LEV but the gold one is made by Bavarian State mint.  So different mint between the gold and silver of that series.  Probably one or both of these mints making the lunar series.

[Adriankra]

Do you really think, that the dog is much cheaper than the 1750€ from Kettner? I think nearly everywhere they are released everywhere over 1550-1600€ after the success of the rooster

Kettner sold almost nearly 30 pieces for 1750€, every other dealer will be stupid if he´ll sell it much cheaper i think...

Let´s see when the other dealer will sell it

Sorry for my english, i hope you will understand it

Received my Lunar Rooster today...what a beautiful coin with the mosaic like finish.

Very interested to see what the Lunar Dog will look like.

The mint is minting 188 bu gold coins. Almost double the 100 roosters. That should keep the price down.
