Utah exempts investment-grade precious metals from sales tax. Confirm at the time of purchase, as the treatment of graded collectibles can differ from plain bullion. Tax in other states varies and any applicable tax is calculated at checkout.

NGC is one of the two major third-party grading services. MS69 is one point below a perfect MS70 on the Mint State scale — a coin with at most two minor imperfections visible at 5x magnification, none of them in the focal areas. In practice an MS69 looks flawless to the naked eye and sells for meaningfully less than an MS70 of the same coin.

One troy ounce of .9999 fine silver. The Royal Canadian Mint struck the Lucky Dragon in a higher fineness than the .999 standard used by most sovereign bullion coins.

The reverse carries a coiled Chinese dragon rendered in fine detail, with the CANADA legend, the 9999 fineness marks, and the FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR inscription around the rim. The obverse is Susanna Blunt’s effigy of Elizabeth II with the 2021 date and the $5 denomination.

No. The grade is attached to the holder, not the coin — NGC certifies the coin as encapsulated, and the certification number on the label ties to their online verification. Crack it out and you have an ungraded coin worth considerably less than a slabbed MS69.

No. Graded and collectible coins are excluded from self-directed IRAs even when the underlying metal meets the fineness requirement — the IRS treats them as collectibles rather than bullion. If you are buying silver for an IRA, buy American Silver Eagles or another sovereign bullion coin and confirm with your custodian.

Both. One ounce of .9999 silver sets a floor under it, but the Lucky Dragon is a low-mintage Royal Canadian Mint release, and a certified MS69 carries a collector premium over that floor. The premium tracks collector demand rather than the silver market, so it can move independently of spot in either direction.

Each slab carries its own certification number, so the coin you receive will differ from the one photographed. Every example is the same 2021 Lucky Dragon graded NGC MS69, and any number can be checked at NGCcoin.com/verify.
