I ordered my one this afternoon and I hope it looks as good as the video when I get it in hand.Paid for fed ex shipping for my own peace of mind.Ordering was easy.They could teach a thing or two to the us mint.Dont want to sell but who knows?They also have two other HR coins.I might go back and take a look.Oddly enough,you can buy a kook much cheaper here than ordering from them.
got the email from downies saying there was a web error and they are unable to meet the demand for these, but I can have 5% off another item. they haven't been very good with orders lately. but they "will not only meet your needs but exceed them! " with the new website in April. so they say

Looking at this coin, Elizabeth's portrait is really nice, the hair and crown detail is amazing. HOWEVER, I could live without the sagging neck wrinkles. Makes her look like she's got shark gills or something. Sometimes, less is more.

That is a Beautiful looking UHR Silver Dragon you got there epicjimi1
How...how ...did...they...what the... Already!?...Did they sleep outside PerthMint the day this was issued and flew it over the same day to NGC for super fast service/grading.
More than 10 available? Time for a letter to Coin World.

Its paradisemint. He got the first 500 struck supposedly!! Priced at $449 for 70s on his website. This is called a circle jerk between Perth, dealer and NGC. Total BS

So 499 folks could have gotten their 1 per household orders if Perth remained true to their offering of 1 per / HH and not 500 per special status dealer...jerk dealer circle..i mean circle jerk dealer circle...
Not to take anything from and going back to the coin itself and being that its the Year of the dragon. I still believe this particular UHR silver dragon is one of the most beautiful Modern coins ever minted.
Mmm...I've purchased items from Talisman w/o ever having an issue. I have my doubts that they will be available much longer at $199. Can't get them for less anywhere else.

LOL Downies. Good luck with these jokers - on hot issues they'll take your order but more then likely will never deliver the coin

Other then ebay no. Just telling you whats happened based on mine and others experience. Downies is dead to me, I'd put Talisman there too. Apmex has a placeholder, http://www.apmex.com/Product/67736/2012_1_oz_Silver_Year_of_the_Dragon_High_Relief_Proof_Coin.aspx but you know how they roll.

I tried to call the Perth Mint but of course they are not picking up so I sent an email.
Let's see if Amex made me "save" 100 bucks!
Anyone had a similar experience and can advise the best way to proceed?

Nope...I used PayPal to pay for mine. Status has changed to: picked? No idea what that means.
<< <i>I called APMEX to see if any available. The lady said we have no such product! >>
Maybe a household limit of 1 had something to do with that. Not enough time yet for J6P to sell them theirs.

Packaging is standard Perth. Coin is very nice but small. I have not order any high reliefs issues previously.
Very shiny (proofy?) and the high relief serves the Dragon die well.
this img demonstrates size better:

Yes, it is supposed to be a proof coin
It is small indeed. The only high relief coin I have is the UHR which is small too.
Thanks for sharing!

"We were fortunate to partner with a direct distributor who received their allotment - submitted to NGC - and got them back ready to go."
I guess the 1 per household did not apply to their distributors, just to us schmucks.
