    I am puzzled that a 1986 Panda can be up for sale if there were none minted in 86. Can anyone tell me anything different? As far as I can workout the coin in qustion has to be yet another bad attempt of copying the Panda.

    it's a 22 gram "giant panda" commemorative, as opposed to the 1oz bullion "panda" series

    The 1986 Silver Panda coin is part of a series issued by many countries for the World Wildlife Fund. It can be found in both BU and Proof conditions. It's popularity has gone up quite a bit in the past year and the price has risen from about $60-$75 USD to $175-$225 USD. There is no difference in value between the proofs and BU coins so far.

    Best wishes,
