    I'm starting to believe the photos are bad for a reason.

    I have seen the auction that you are referring to, I would say definitely fake, the other coins for sale are also fake, most if not all at least. Crude fakes at that but the images hide it pretty well.

    The first thing I watch in any double sealed pandas is packaging ... if it has round corners - I'm not watching any further.
    So ... first picture, upper right corner - it is rounded meaning the packaging is FAKE, hence the coin is fake as well.

    With the packaging. If they are from the right mints I understand the plastic has a knotted effect. Can somebody confirm this is correct?

    As panda collector said
    Even with the bad photo,you can very easily see the black nose where the silver plating is thin. First thing to look for with the 2000 mirror.
    Avoid this coin and seller
