    Im very curious. I bird say the conmemorative is capital markets. At What price They sell it (very cheap)? 50, 100, 70?

    Respect to the medals i dont think pandamerica choose all the better medals to grading. But a lot of the betters sure.
    :). Im continue thinking ncs/ngc is a good method to conserve and protect all the coins and medals. For the future and for shipping too.

    At what price this panda 1 oz medal was selling at Singapore coin show?

    I would like to buy one, but I'm not going to pay a grand for this medal.
    I was thinking to pay from 100 to 200 dollars.

    I am told by PandaAmerica that the Singapore medals are struck at the Shenzhen GuoBao Mint. They are 100% genuine China Mint products. It is also not unusual for a Chinese coin, or medal to have a single distributor. There are many well-known modern Chinese coins that had a single distributor at some point, including Unicorns and Inventions and Disoveries.

    Best wishes,

    Dear mfm,

    Do you know how many of the modern Chinese coins were conceived and created? Numerous American, and German, and Asian firms approached The China Mint with concepts for coins. If the firm was willing to front the money to create the coins, the China Mint would consider the proposal, and work with them. The coins that came out of this type of arrangement have face values, and are official, legal coins by the laws of China. The distributor for the coins was the company that paid for them.

    There are rare Chinese coins that are worth six figures today that were created this way. If you feel that these legal tender coins of China aren't really Chinese that is your privilege. You might then also look into which of China's legal tender coins were struck by foreign mints. Some of those are pretty valuable, as well.

    Best wishes,
    Peter Anthony

    I bought 2 medals for $175 US each.
    Like some members already mentioned these medals are absolutely beautiful and China hasn't issue any medals in 15 years. And the price of this medal is similar to the Commemoratives pandas. Plus a low mintage.

    Coinmerc have only 3 medals left in stock right now.

    Most of the time I see a beautiful designs of the Pandas on silver coins.
    But i saw one Panda silver coin that is funny and ugly looking as well. No, it wasn't made my Chinese mint. Here's the link.

    Thanks for that information Peter !

    Wow that must be one totally awesome show to attend ... can't wait to see some of your pics as well as from the other members.

    I can't image how many beautiful coins there were ... I would have been overwhelmed :)

    The Singapore Panda design is one of the best in years (IMO)

    Thanks heaps PandaCollector! Your knowledge is always appreciated!

    It was a pleasure to meet you! Such a privilege and honor for me, a lowly collector of Pandas.

    There may be a few lowly sellers of Pandas, but there are no lowly collectors of Pandas!

    Dear Peter,

    I never questioned legal tender coins approved by PBOC, so that's a non-issue.

    It was actually one of my points that official legal tender coins of one country may be minted at a mint of a second country and it would still be official coins of the first country. So it seems you support my argument, contrary to those who said a coin/medal must be "official Chinese" just because it was minted in Shenzhen (which by extension would make the PRC legal tender coins minted in Germany into German coins).

    However, the SG medal is not legal tender, so the above doesn't apply. That it was issued by Great Wall Coins in HK is enogh to call it Chinese though (in my opinion).

    That only leaves the question if the medal is "official Chinese"? Without the official emblem of the PRC I would say no. The local sections of CGCI issues lots of different medals that has nothing to do with PBOC. CGCI Shenzhen issued at least three different "year of the dragon" medal series, CGCI Beijing made other dragon medals, would anyone in China treat them as more official than the several other dragon medals made? I doubt it. So some medal from Great Wall Coins is even less official than all these dragons...
