This items is controlling by ex-owner of Panda America Martin Weiss. He decide and fix the price. He distribute to others wholesellers. I assume he sold majority of them to wholesellers so it is not easy to get a good price in this case except someone loss faith and sell low.
If you want the heart shape, you can get it here. It's a Pricepedia special offer that just arrived. http://www.pandacollector.com/pricepedia2016.html
And again a new one - Hong Kong Pandas: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hong-Kong-2...970809?hash=item5b2da76bf9:g:1NIAAOSwB09YEwBP
^^^ What a piece of sh*t coin. It says almost perfect, yet it is riddled with milk stains. That needs to be melted and made into a different coin. My guess? Shanghai mint. I'll go look now. Edit: can't find out who it is...private mint?
Is the spotting due to the PCGS slab or as a result of the minting process? I suspect white spotting is due to the minting process but I am not an expert on this.
My recollection is that the Hong Kong Coin Show Pandas were not struck at the Shanghai Mint, but by a private mint in Shanghai.The heart-shaped Pandas are a promotion (benefit?) for China Pricepedia subscribers. They were struck by the Shenyang Mint. So far, I have not seen a single white spot on any of them. The mintage is 980. Best wishes, Peter Anthony China Pricepedia www.pandacollector.com
