I've held my ground so far. And for those who have said the mintages will be lower because of the lack of stated weight, metal content & purity, they appear to be pretty popular at least at Apmex.. which I think is a decent-enough proxy for the US market, anyway.
Hope the mintage really go low and china does not mints second and third Bacthes to fulfill the plan mintage. Thus, they suffer and revert back to old way with purity and so on. So it become key date. I will yield a good margin.
I've noticed the 2015 philharmonics don't have numeric purity stamped on them either unless I missed it.
that's okay, just leave them all for me. I'll be the vacuum cleaner. Thanks much everyone for the precious gift. hehehe.
Exactly. Would you buy a can in the grocery store that has no label, but 'Carl' assured you it was carrots? -bw
Got my 500Yuan 1 troz gold to keep my ongoing collection current. And if they go with their plans to go 30 grams on the 500Yuan in 2016 onwards, my 1 troz gold Panda collection will be complete with the 2015 issue.
That's true. on the coin you can read that it is 1 oz fine silver. Strange case in Austria. By law it is forbidden in Austria to stamp numeric purity higher than 925 (sterling). They still did not change the law for silver hallmarking. A funny example. This year Austrian Mint makes for the first time a medal for the Life Ball (really weird for my opinion). If you read the specifications of this medal, it is written that the medal is made of .999 silver but punched .925. :lol: http://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/eng/produkte/life-ball-medal-2015 For gold 999 is possible and no problem.
