    Cheers, they certainly do. I took it around to show a mate today and when he felt it he just went "wow how heavy is it" I said 12oz being a smart ass... LOL I knew that wasn't what he actually meant.

    Buying spree of MCCs...! The wallet be hurting!

    (I know not all are Pandas but yeah I'm lazy to post in the other today I bought thread :D)

    1999 Guan Yin Gilt NGC MS69

    Been hunting for this coin for a while as some of you may have seen on CCF. I managed to source this one (paid a bit higher than I wanted but meh) right after I bought a MS68... so now I have two!

    [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/1463_img_0407_resized.jpg][​IMG][/imgz]

    Close up:

    [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/1463_img_0412_resized.jpg][​IMG][/imgz]

    The speck is on the external plastic cover, not the NGC holder or coin. Lovely coin, stunning design. I still love the 1988 5oz Guan Yin the best but I can't find it for under $4000 US.

    1993 Fu Lu Shu NGC MS69

    [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/1463_img_0408_resized.jpg][​IMG][/imgz]

    1998 Large Date S10Y Panda MS69

    Sexy bear with a sexy pose. Hunted this baby down fighting off 20 other bidders (exaggerated) ;)

    [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/1463_img_0409_resized.jpg][​IMG][/imgz]

    1996 Small Date S10Y Panda MS69

    Finally took the bullet and bought this, slightly overpaid but my NGC S10Y MS69 common "set" is now complete with some obvious exceptions which I can't be bothered to buy.

    [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/1463_img_0410_resized.jpg][​IMG][/imgz]

    1990 Large Date S10Y Panda MS69

    Forgot why and when I bought this, must've been to save shipping because I'm pretty sure I have two now.

    [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/1463_img_0411_resized.jpg][​IMG][/imgz]

    1990 Chinese Culture Set

    Historical figures or Chinese Culture whatever you call it. Currently #1 on NGC, at least until Russ beats me.

    Three PF69s and one PF70. Took me effort to source this set but it's well worth it.

    Are they 1986 1/20oz golds?

    They should go nicely with the rest of your gold fractionals.

    I have always gotten great deals from this dealer Monique at "Rare Coin Collector" ... I saw where she attempted to participate once at CCF but as usual a few loud mouths ran her out just like has happened with many of other good dealers/collectors ... I think she is very good as do many coin collectors that I know.

    Enjoy your coin ... I'm sure it will be very nice !

    +1. I've bought a few thousand $ worth (historical figures/pandas) from RCC before, they were all good.

    Quick delivery and good packaging. Although they declared full value & wrote bullion but I kept it under $1000 anyway so it was fine.

    ps. MS68 are great looking coins too despite being one grade lower, at below OMP prices = bargain.
