Hello to all. Happy to be here. I m new in the silver stacking world.I need your help and knowledge. I recently buy a 2013 1oz silver panda. When i weighted is 30.99g. Diameter 40.12mm Thickness 3,17mm My scale and caliber tested before the measurements in Euro coins, and i take the correct data. I all so ( i have see it in internet) measure the specific weigth and is 10.50. What do you believe ? Its possible with wrong weight/diameter/thickness to be genuine ? Thank you for your time and very happy to be here.
Welcome MariosPapas... I wouldn't be too concerned... most scales aren't accurate to 0.04% (or can't detect 0.11g). If you're worried take a pic and upload. Fake pandas most of the time look crap. I would be more worried that you probably ended up damaging your Panda with all the handling.
I just make a short video and uploading to you tube.My camera sucks.I know. I hope the video helps. Thank you
And a third video much better quality. I hope this helps,to tell me your opinions. Many thanks http://youtu.be/vG-dnmYCKlU
I have a brand new sheet of 2012 and 2013 silver panda as well as 1984, 1985 1987 and 2013 gold panda.
Nice to see fellow panda enthusiasts. I collect 1 troy ounce gold and platinum pandas. Highlight of my collection are the complete 1 troy ounce gold panda coin show medal issues from 1987 - 1990 and the 1 troy ounce platinum issues from 1987 - 1990.
I do not have an SLR type digital camera but I will take pictures with my iPhone and post it when I get to home from the bank vault.
Got my first 1 troy ounce gold panda at the end of 1984. It is a 1983 from my wife. Started pursuing them in 1989 gaining momentum early 2000s then slowing down as the price of gold and platinum crossed $500.
