    To me it kinda looks like they zoomed in on the 2000 design face LOL Should look nice on the gold fractionals anyway...

    Love it. Unique and different verses all the other pandas. I think they were trying to create the same image as the 35th Anniversary Pandas that were released this year, and were a big hit! I'll definitely be buying as a pure spot play, with hopefully not too much of a premium added!!

    This design kind of grows on me. The more I look at it, the nicer it looks, esp the gold one.

    Yeah, I think this is one of the best bullion coins for the pandas in a long time. I just wish the mintage wasn't so dang high. They grown by the millions every year, which means they are meeting capacity? Last year, I heard the 8 million sold out by Jun/Jul time frame (??). This is pure spot play, with a little premium when you go to sell. Be careful not to spend a ton over spot. And remember to factor in that 'missing' gram vs the troy ounce it used to be. :))

    Sorry, but that thing sucks, LOL


    On a positive note, however...

    My wallet always appreciates it when all these mints & smiths come up with all these really horrible-looking coins & pieces, heh.

    Yeah, because I like it, doesn't mean I'll be buying it. Lol. I'd rather have me some low mintage bullion swans. Gaaaaaaaatitooooooooooo Long time no talk. How goes the battle dude? I know you're loading up on all that Chinese stuff. I got a couple of the Brass 45mm Baby Boy pieces. Yooooooooooooooooooooooo
