    it is fake 85 panda. The 10 yuan domination gone.

    There even have fake graded panda in the market. Sometimes too good to be true if they ad at very low price against market rate.

    only buy at reliable sources rather than fishing a bargain.

    It is a medallion, not a coin.

    Is there a way to confirm that a medallion didn't have the weight or 10yuan printed on the coin?

    Just the way the coin looked, it didn't seem right, but I'm still learning about the pandas

    Check ebay item 370697792815 - it lists weight as 19.5 grams

    Thanks, now I know what they're roughly worth.

    and my original hunch was right, the one with a panda on the back is indeed 1985. The guy had the wrong picture I guess.

    ^ just a thought about the link i mentioned in previous post..

    isn't it possible for people to obtain a seal making machine? one may assume that the coin is real and aftermarket sealed?
    is this considered bad?

    note: since I have some doubts I won't bid for this. but i'm still curious..
