    I just bought a slabbed MS-69 2009 1/10 for 215.50. I wasn't really in the market for any Gold right now, trying to get my silver on, but I was doing some math and doing some comparative shopping. I basically paid the same amount for the panda as I would a generic 1/10 round, less than a non-graded eagle or leaf and much, much less than I've seen them for sale online and just over $9 US over spot.

    If my bubble should be burst, burst it, but let me know if I really should be patting myself on the back on this deal LOL, Thanks in advance

    Wow! That's a bargain!

    That really is ultra cheap! Especially for the 2009 series!

    Was it NGC? Any pics? :)

    NGC and I'll post a pic when I get it. Actually it might be bout two weeks because I'll be gone next week to Silversmith school. It's a week long course at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in the scenic North Georgia Mountains out side of Young Harris, Georgia.
    I took a class in Wire Sculpture two years ago, but have really wanted to learn Silversmithing and eventually Goldsmithing. There's no internet up there, so Sat will be my last chance to communicate with the world LOL. I'll post some pics of the stuff I make up there to.

    Oh and could someone tell me how to post a pic, I tried before and failed. Being new to forums I'm admittedly a bit ignorant, but I'm a quick learner so any help would be great.

    check the holder very well as I have heard that there are some fake pandas inserted to holders to make them look legit. If it is legit, good buy
