Chinese Panda Bullion 2016 - The first new PM standard bullion coins

Cool, much better than expected

 

Nice box and packaging will come with cost for sure. I guess 30 gram will price at 31.1 gram

 

how much the box will add to the cost?

 

Panda America has this one for $24 each, <$100 (means 4 coins) cost $7 for shipping
they claim the deliver time is early Dec.

 

This means the 2016 30 gram charge as 31.1 gram like previous years. Plus seems like the premium has increase too.

 

Guys, what is the potential of 2016 as first year in this new format?

 

I think the 2014-2016 pandas should do well in a few years, and we have the previous two years and can't wait to pick some of these up. I also think the design looks really nice.

 

personally, I will buy NGC first/early release MS70.

When the price stable and spot go lower I will buy 60 pcs minimum.

I use to buy 10-20 pcs NGC

30-90 pcs omp.

 

Silver or Gold?

 

silver for sure NOT gold. I am poor man

 

Are you worried about milk spots or anything like that? I'm saving up for a ms70 set up to 30g first release gold. I'm on a waiting list for that one at my LCS. 30-90 pcs is almost as much as a 5 piece set!

 

I am buying 10-20 NGC MS70 silver due to worry of white spot. I hope I will not be that damn bad luck get all 10-20 pcs white spot. I will sell some to customers locally so keep about 5 pcs for collection.

As 30-90 raw is all in tray so I do not care as white spot. I wish not like to sell at loose pcs after the price is up. I only sell as tray to make it simple.

I also buy 1 to 2 set MS70 for gold panda.

I likely buy few sheets gold panda for 2016 depending on cashflow.

 

Nice, smaller sheets means it is harder to break... My sheets broke very easily, and not vacuum sealed anymore...

 

Nobody is buying bigger quatities @pandaamerica ???
They ask 31US$ for 2015 Panda, thats all what need to say.
Their 24US$ for 2016 Panda is no reference.

2015 Pandas should be available without tax in the range 21-22US$ and the 2016 minimum 2$ lower when the come to market.

 

This I am saying packaging cost you money.

We like the packaging BUT no intend to pay it. LOL

 

You have to be very carefully with handling the 30 pcs sheets. I have one from 2008 that is still vacuum sealed, most of the others are no more longer sealed.
I hope from 2016 the additional packaging will protect them better. Even when i buy them i will check if they are still sealed before i will accept them.
In the past i missed this check

 

Any prices on the table for the 30gr panda ? in germany no Dealer is lower than 20 on preorder !

 

No tax in euro for panda ?

 

7% tax is included into the price of 20,xx

 

Here in the states the preorder sales are about $21.23 each shipped, if you buy 30 or more.. Depending on how much shipping costs elsewhere, it may be cheaper for us to order from abroad!
