    Is this coin a 2000 mirror panda? With so many fakes around with this coin I'm paranoid. Any help will be appreciated

    Is this a coin you own or a coin you are interested in buying?

    It is always easier to tell in person, but from the photos I would consider it to be not genuine.

    The plating is uneven as a number of other posters have mentioned.

    The OMP is also suspicious, there is a curved sealed edge in the bottom left. This does not confirm a fake, it could be a genuine reseal, however I would not consider buying this coin, even if it was real.

    Shanghai OMP should be angular blocks in straight lines.

    There are a couple of graded Mirrors right now on ebay around the $1500 mark, I'd rather buy those if I were you.

    Zingers right this is not OMP, at best its genuine thats been submitted for grading.

    Why risk it?

    Isnt the rounded edge on the omp supposed to be an indication of a fake?

    A bad OMP is a "highly suspicious" indicator.
