The population of MS-70 (top score) graded 2000 Lunar Dragons is pretty low. Only a couple of hundred graded specimens from NGC (you can find the exact numbers on their website) out of a total mintage of 30000. This makes this coin pretty rare and very collectible in comparison to lesser and more common grades like MS-68 or 69. Here is some background info from C. One-ounce Perth Mint Gold Dragons have become the most successful gold coins launched in recent years. Gold Dragons are the fourth coin in The Perth Mint's 12-coin Lunar Series, which started in 1996 with the Year of the Rat. All the gold coins in the Lunar Series are minted of. 9999 fine gold, and each coin comes individually encapsulated in plastic protective capsules. Adding to the coin collectible appeal, production of all the 1-oz gold coins in the Lunar Series is limited to 30,000 coins. The Year 2000 Gold Dragon is the key coin in The Perth Mint Lunar Series for several reasons. Although the year 2000 was celebrated as the last year of the old millennium, it was the first year of the new millennium.

Regardless, coins dated 2000 are unique and often are highly sought after in the collectible coin market. Although the dragon is considered China's icon, this mythical creature is immensely popular throughout Asia.

Coins used for jewelry lose their coin collectible value; therefore, jewelry demand for Lunar Series coins will reduce the number of coins available to the coin collectible market. The use of Lunar Series coins for jewelry is likely to enhance the coins' collectible status. Please do not message me about any shady shenanigans.
