    Hello. Just wondering if this coin is real. What concerns me is the plastic bag. I am not sure if they were issued like this - each coin in its individual plastic bag. So far I have only seen 5 oz silver pandas (2014 and 2015) sold in threes packaged in one plastic bag. This one is different. Hope you can open the url to see what I am talking about. Thanks.

    3pc 5oz in original sheet mint condition

    dealers cut them for seperately

    before 2005 1oz sheet is 10pc
    after 05 all 30pc in sheet
    in one bag or 3 bag all ok
    each sheet only 1paper inside one small bag

    just paper only not coano value in fact

    I know the 3 coins in one sheet are real and the seller is reputable.

    My question was about the 2015 5 oz coin and its individual packaging with the paper inside. Is this packaging correct and coin real?

    No this is NOT original mint packaging , the coin appears legit at a glance but these come on sealed trays of 3 not 1. It looks to be resealed which if the coin is indeed legit isnt really a bad thing since it protects the capsule and minimizes the exposure to air. Personally the price seems a little high right now.
