I agree with silverstar1, this was a bad year for spotting. I once looked through nearly an entire sheet of these and they were all spotted. A...
I can get this set for under $400 US here in China. It's a nice set IMHO, I plan to get one myself. It might be a sleeper too - the actual mintage...
I was going to ask the same thing, I cannot tell from that photo that it's fake. By the way, there are two known varieties for the 2013:...
Canadian SML's are notorious for white spotting, did you ask your dealer if they had any spots prior to purchasing?
That's interesting, the same dealer where I was searching through the sheets of 2010 also had 2 NGC slabbed (MS68), both had spotting but not as...
I wouldn't assume that, though I have never purchased a sealed Panda (silver 1oz are no longer individually sealed) when I was buying 2012 1oz Ag...

Nice deal! Where was this? I don't recall seeing these listed here...
I did a search and found some discussions about this product, as you can see from the 2nd thread below it's quite a controversial topic:...
Just curious, how did your 89 and 05 grade?
Hi jc, I will try to get to the coin market next week (I have been slacking off at work this week).
I too have suspected that's what many dealers in the US are doing. That said, I doubt many dealers in China are going to the trouble as from what...
I think you are right in that the bulk of these coins are going to non-collectors. Brib... oops I meant gift-giving is very big here.
The colored coins are growing on me as well. Thanks for your comments regarding the quality of the paint job (for lack of a better term), I've...
You could be right about that derrick, I have no experience with NCS and grading. Cheers
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "ungradeable condition"? I am finding that surprisingly large % of recent Chinese silver coins suffer from...
