Personally, I would keep he gilded version. it looks nice and worth showing off occasionally. The normal one was limited mintage, so it is more for investment for high returns.

agreed. I would fancy gilded over normal then only the red dragon(even the red have the most lease mintage).

as far as i know, there are 4 main different type of 2012 lunar dragon by perth mint.
1- 1oz Proof coin (mintage 5000) sold out within 2 hours of sale. on ebay is around AUD150-AUD500. so far i havent found this in SLS. if im not mistaken, prophetjul managed to get 1 unit.
2- 1oz Colored coin (mintage 10000) priced around rm420-600 in SLS. this is the red dragon
3- 1oz Gilded coin (mintage 50000) priced around rm420-600 in SLS. this is the gold dragon
4- 1oz Bullion coin (mintage 300000) priced around rm380-450 in SLS. this is the normal coin u saw in SLS, i think.
only the first three type comes with box and numbered certificate of authenticity.
i dont really know what is the different between the proof coin and the bullion coin, i havent seen a proof dragon yet.
Thank you very much for the info. perth mint web site sure confuse me.

I did a search and found out the proof dragon having the same design as the normal dragon. Where by the proof have a shiny mirror effect on the background and a frosty/matty effect on the dragon. Is just like negative effect.
