Ahahahahah..... WHO BOUGHT IT!!!? ahahahahah... Congratz!!!! That's a winner! Good find Ebenezer! Well done!
I am going to see what I can do to get this beauty cleaned up and slabbed. Either for resale or for my collection. Can not wait for her to arrive! I did have to buy $1000 worth of other miscellaneous pandas because of the $1500 minimum order limit. The haul included some 2007's, 2008's and 2001's. Expect some huckler auctions soon!
It is scarce. I think the toning scares a lot of people away but sometimes a toned coin can still be beautiful.
Congrats on buying this..BUT please consider the individuality of this round. It's toning is probably unique.And does not necessarily decrease it's value. My 2 cents
Since it is not a legal tender Panda released by the PBOC, there would be trouble to get some info on the round. It is just a 12 oz round with a Panda on it (a copy) hence it is not a "real" Chinese Panda coin. Numismatic value, none, since it is not a coin. The 1992 official legal tender 12 oz China Panda released by the Peoples Bank Of China looks like this.
Yeah, this was/is a silver medallion in the truest meaning of the word. It's still a fairly decent purchase. It's price was very near to spot.
