Very Nice Detail.

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

I went on a bit of a Dragon spree with my last order, got this as well as the 1oz bar and 1oz round, and a 1oz hand poured Dragon. Born in the Year of the Dragon(1964) so decided I'd get a few things to represent that. Very happy with this 1/2oz piece, nice detail, received in mint condition. AMPEX has never disappointed.
