HI Panda Collectors, Please help me and my dealer determine a price for this coin 1995 1/20oz Platinum Panda Raw (unsealed) What is the current value of this coin? I have not been able to locate many sales. I would take a stab at the grade being MS66-MS67 because of some slight discoloration.
Just had a quick look in the pricapedia. Given the low grade I would think somewhere between $510 and $550 Ask price in US is something like $1450, ask in china is $771, MS69 $979 Three sales in china 12/12 $560 $411 $373 Hope this helps, Given you think it will grade MS66 I would look to get a better coin.
thanks Chillidog! The main reason I am considering buying this coin is I think I can get it for $150-$250- I have a local network of dealers who call me when they get any Chinese coins. If they are silver or gold Pandas I know the market well from watching ebay, auctions, forums. As for the Platinum and Pallidium Pandas they are a bit tricky to find as many coins on the market so pricing is tough. I really appreciate your help. Iam just taking a stab at the grade since I know its not a MS69 or MS70 and I would rather be conservative if I am buying a coin. It very well could be MS67. Silverbulldog
Update on this coin...I bought the coin from The Dealer who holds and sells me all his Chinese coins. I paid $ 125- The coin looks flawless except for a tiny mark on the inside of the rim which is not a ding but more like a speck. This coin will probably Grade MS67 or MS68. IF I am looking at a value of $550- this might be my best buy for the year of 2014!
I appreciate that Justfishing..it means more coming from you since i know you are a serious Panda enthusiast. I was curious about the conservation on a Platinum coin if it is worth it or not. I sent in Silver Pandas before and did not conserve and I later regret not conserving since Silver Tarnishes it brings out the luster if conserved. I wonder how NCS conserves coins. I bet they just sit there with a bucket of coin dip and dip the coin. I just don't understand another way to "conserve" a coin without damaging it unless they are dipping in solutions. anyone know? Also should I definitely slab this or sell it raw? silverbulldog
thanks Jc88888888 I would love to liquidate it to buy more Pandas but something in my gut is telling me to hold onto it. It is the only Platinum coin I own and the only Plat Panda of coarse so I keep that coin close to the vest. coinstacker1984
Yeah I made a mistake...2013 best buy. Well I did buy a few 1994 Silver 10 Yuan Pandas for $110/each let me know if that is a good buy Panda collectors? I only have one other 1994 and I sold it for $200 so I basically turned 1 1994 Panda into 2 94 Pandas. coinstacker1984
