    Hey guys, coin looks a little off but I am a nooby. the 10 denomination seems thicker than the others I've seen.

    Also what should the packaging on the 2000's look like.

    Heres some pics, feedback appreciated!

    I dont saw bsod (black spot of dead) and the image in the temple side is correct.
    If the price is 400 or more i will buy ms69 ngc for 425 or less shipped. Saw ebay last auctions and buy now offers.
    Only buy omp if the price is less than 300

    ok my worthless opinion :) , you have a real strong ms 69 coin as long as the marks are on the capsule temple side, the strike is really nice on the bear side!which is where this year can be weak, there appears to be a little chatter on the inner ring around the 2 and that could be just the picture ,on a good day who knows ? could be a 70................... at any rate a fine coin !! wish you luck...................... anybody else guessing??

    Heard NGC's become stricter recently, if you get a 70 then it truly must be an awesome coin ;D

    they are getting tougher you are 100% right ............the coin that my future drinking buddy has:):) from the pics is really nice in the field ,panda side ,bamboo leaves really well defined ,that is where most 2000 panda,s that are real pretty coins just dont get to ms70 , i had one graded 2 years ago at a coin show, by NGC, and had an opportunity to chat after the coin was graded (ms68:( )with a grader there and that is what he told me keeps superb ms69 coins from the 70 mark, just passing some info........................ as to what to look for ,the absense of inner ring die chatter marks on temple side,and well defined bamboo leaves that pop out at you..............
