1 Ounce Silver Dragon
![[1 Ounce Perth Mint Lunar Series Silver Dragon]](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4467/604/200/aust.2000.dragon.jpg)
Bought a 1 ounce silver dragon coin on Ebay. Its a beautiful coin, minted by the Perth Mint in Australia. [As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm a big fan of the Perth Mint's Golden Lunar Series.]
Don’t know why I bought it. Maybe its because I like shiny things. I think silver prices might jump 50% over the next 3 years but the 1 ounce silver is current worth about $9.25 and the coin was just under $20 with shipping and insurance. I definitely won’t make my fortune with a $20 coin. But I guess its better than blowing money a DVD. Or is it??
Anyone else out there who likes collecting coins?
