    Where do you guys buys 5oz / 1kg pandas?
    There are many sites you can get 1oz but hard to find 5oz and haven't seen 1kg unless buy overseas (become pricey with import tax and shipping cost).

    Sorry, nothing to do with this :p

    The 5oz and Kilo Pandas are Proof coins and thus will be subject to GST as they are not classified as an investment form of silver.

    :p Yep, I found this a while ago. And this seems to be the only AU site selling panda proofs.
    But again, no 1KG found...

    They did have a kilo panda about 4-5 months ago. $1,300 from memory. Email them and ask to keep you in mind next time. Or just ask Barsenault for a loan of one until the novelty wears off ;)

    Not many Australian dealers carry them for now. Have to look overseas :)
