I find 70's are very difficult for pre 2003's Silverbulldog
Are you panda lover and how your choose the raw ? Physically handpick or from internet? I only buy slab because nit many raw with good pricing in Singapore and the shopping fee plus insurance is high for Singapore
Most of my coins are hand picked and the ones I buy online I only do so if the pictures are high resolution and lighting is not deceiving. I do also have coins in my stock/collection that I would never send in for grading due to contact marks. I still value the beauty In coins with bag marks and severe toning. I actually have coins for the more rare dates that I bought early on to fill gaps. Some of these coins are MS64-MS65 but I still appreciate there beauty just not worth grading. My preference is to buy the highest grades possible but I can't turn down a Chinese Panda at a good price unless its cleaned or damaged on the rim in a big way. I have learned a lot about grade rarity and high grade coins from sending batches to NGC. My first submission was weak compared to this time around. My next group will be odd sizes like 1/2oz & 5oz Silver Pandas & 1/20oz & 1/10oz Gold Pandas. I love Gold Pandas as much if not more than silver Pandas. I guess I would consider myself a Panda lover I just got a sealed 3 pack of 2014 5ozers. I also picked up a 1992 1oz Gold Panda I grade MS68+ for spot +6.5% Also I'm getting a 2007 Anni Gold Set & Silver Set both in Origional box with coa & outer boxes...set is 18k for gold mintage & 30k for silver.
