Comments about 1/10 oz Pure Gold Coin - Year of the Dragon (2012):
Great collectable coin, the detail sparkles as if the dragon had at one time lived as its essence faded from existence. If your a dragon fan it does not get any better.

coin is too small to enjoy looking at, very shinny and detail is so crowded that it difficult to make out the carving/sculpture without special lighting and magnification.

Comments about 1/10 oz Pure Gold Coin - Year of the Dragon (2012):
I decided to purchase this coin only after buying the snake one first based on lower mintage. But I will be buying the rest of these coins in lunar series. This a small coin but I knew that before hand. Collecting gold for my only child, to leave a legacy and of course some wealth !

Don't be misled by the mints advertising as I was. This coin is tiny. A good value due to the gold value and low mintage, but not something you can display.
