    Just recieved this today, I already knew it was fake. But the thing is if you dont know what to look for you can be easily fooled.

    That's a pretty good quality fake.

    The fur looks off and the back has the usual flaws but wow if that's your first panda you might get caught off guard.

    Thanks for sharing Peter.

    I got it on ebay for $19.95 free postage. There was a post on it about a month or so back. Got it to see how good it would be. I feel sorry for those that buy all these fake coins at a big premium. All I can say if you are buying any coins make sure it is an trustworty seller and do your research on te subject.

    Hi Petercamperdown - thanks for taking the bullet.

    Do you mind weighing the coin and checking the dimensions? Very curious

    I wonder if these are produced in China?

    The people counterfeiting the coins are pretty brave. I believe its a death sentence for counterfeiting currency. Silver Pandas are legal tender.

    I really hope that some of those that make these get caught and are dealt with as per law. Maybe this will influence those producing fakes to think twice or make fakes on non legal tender coins.

    I too would like to know how it measures up (weight and dimensions)

    How about the edge reeding?

    The dimensions are very close to perfect, have not weighed it yet. And the reeding is right. They have done a very good job.

    I also received my fake 2011 panda today, also bought it from eBay, wonder if we bought from the same seller. BTW, the seller has been removed from eBay and the seller ID is blacklisted in the Chinese Coin Forum http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?topic=3361.0

    I got a real one from Downies last Friday.

    Yeah, the China Mint guys are really good at hunting down these fake Ebay listers.

    Pandas coins have a good community around them :)

    Perhaps it would be helpful if someone was to list the points that give this Panda away as a fake as I received my friends Panda today for a look (think he bought it from same seller) and since I dont have that year to compare it, would help me to be able to explain to him why it is a fake.
