I say fake, the stairs leading up to the temple.... the 'solid' part in the middle is supposed to have writing or some other detail on them.. not clear and smooth like in the pic
That's ok Nugget I have a soft spot for Pandas & that's seen me come across some rogues in the quest to store a good collection of them. They are a great investment if you get the genuine article. IMHO.
Sorry to be late to this conversation. beyondfiat's Panda is, sadly, imo a fake. Projack's is lovely. The 2000 design is one of my favorites and established a new artistic direction for the Panda series. Best wishes, Peter Anthony http://www.pandacollector.com
