I've never really taken to the previous lunar series but I do like this artwork.

A crazy range of sizes, but I'm not sure I really understand why the 1oz BU coins are 'limited' when the larger sizes are not. At least I would have thought the 2oz and 10oz gold coins would be limited.

Overall I'm tempted by the platinum version now, if only because silver and gold prices are so high currently. Might come back to the gold and silver if prices fall back.

If their mintage figures are to be believed the coins with the large limited mintages always sell out.  All other sizes sell less.

I think I will stock up on some 5 oz coins it's a bummer 10 oz is no longer made with the new serie.

[StackemHigh]

So without the 10oz there will be a four coin typeset collection.

 

[StackemHigh]

That's 40 different coins. Ooooft.😒

[Alun]

I've now started on a box for the Lunar 3, Its THE most technical box to date and is going to be something quite special 🤞🤞

It will begin with the 1oz silver version and the plan is to then do 1/2oz and 2oz  Silver early next year,Given the lack of a 10oz coin I've not decided on weather I will do type set yet.  But a 5oz box will follow as will versions for gold  coins later. 

 

You all know I'm only a small producer but will have the best box for this amazing set ❤

I've personally got some silver

21 1oz

11 2oz 

21 1/2oz 

5 5oz sat in Belgium waiting for some other stuff to share its shipping😀

So look out for the first boxes Early December
