    Just wondering about raw pandas in capsules. It's hard to determine for specific years what they're going for on silver stackers.
    Thanks

    You tried Peter Anthony's "Pricepedia"?

    I like Peter's Pricepedia, since it tracks multiple markets around the world... very handy info to have if you do a lot of traveling. If I had to pick one source, this would be it.

    But I also follow the APMEX prices very closely. I find that they are the upper limit of what the market is willing to pay.

    I don't use Ebay as an index for my Pandas. There are too many variables on why an item may sell for too little or too much (E.g. some MS68s sell for more than some MS69s). BUT there are some specialists (like Tamo42) who are experts at the Ebay Panda tracking market (really really top work that he does).

    My top 2... Pricepedia and APMEX... then maybe Ebay :)

    I like eBay simply because it's the largest market, and thus the most liquid. Of course, there is still a great deal of volatility in prices, but that's just how it is when you are dealing in rare things!
