    Other error is the obverse. Dont is the temple.
    And the 20 yuan dont exists in any 1 oz silver pandas. All are 10 yuan. I saw a lot of fakes in eBay. A few the only thing to saw is a fake is the point black of death.

    But he includes a certificate! LOL

    Yeah, you have be a smart buyer. That's one of the benefits of buying graded coins (especially NGC). They guarantee authenticity. If you are in doubt, you can check the serial number on the grading company's website.

    Although he's describing it as a coin, it seems more likely to be a cheap medallion to commemorate the Beijing olympics going by the obverse design.
