Grading: NGC MS70 (Perfect condition, no visible flaws under 5x magnification).
Design: Features the 2024 Year of the Dragon design with the "P125" mint mark, celebrating the Perth Mints 125th anniversary.
Protection: Sonically sealed in a tamper-proof NGC slab.
Why the Premium?
If you are tracking the "spot" price of gold, you may notice this coin carries a significant premium. This is due to three factors:
Fractional Demand: 1/10 oz coins always carry higher premiums than 1 oz bars because they are more affordable to more people and have higher manufacturing costs per ounce.
The "Dragon" Factor: In the Lunar series, the Year of the Dragon is historically the most sought-after zodiac sign, often selling out instantly at the mint and appreciating faster than other years.
The Perfect Grade: Only a fraction of coins struck are high enough quality to receive the MS70 grade. Uncertified (raw) coins sell for much less, but an MS70 slab guarantees its condition and long-term numismatic value for collectors.
Price Comparison (eBay/Online)
I have priced this competitively for a local cash deal to save you the taxes and shipping fees found on major platforms.
eBay Recent Sold/Active: Currently ranging from $625 to $780 (inclusive of shipping/tax).
Major Bullion Dealers: Often out of stock or charging $580+ for uncertified (BU) versions, while MS70 graded versions are frequently listed at significantly higher markups.

No shipping, no tax, and no waiting. Just a secure, face-to-face transaction at a local police station or bank lobby.
