I have been lusting after this coin: http://www.apmex.com/Product/61081/2011_Kilo_Proof_Silver_Chinese_Panda_W_Box__Coa.aspx Source: Apmex I wanted to know from you guys...how overpriced is this sucker??? I want it. So bad. I really do. It's so beautiful. Do the kilo pandas have the same value as the others??? Is this coin worth buying at this price????? The precious calls to me...
IMHO you could get it cheaper and possibly already graded. On a side note I know someone who has 5 oz 2011 70's for about $750
I should have added that for that price you could probably get it conserved & graded ... This is a large purchase and the NGC/NCS lifetime guarantee is priceless in this case ...
A 2007 1 kg silver proof panda in PF 69 UC grade sold on eBay for $3550. So, like comeaux said, too high. There's a 2011 1 kg silver panda PF 70 UC on the LBC list for only $5k
APMEX is a tad overpriced, but the trade-off is they do have a nice selection and do provide excellent service. I've purchased from them before and will again, normally for items I can't find lower anywhere else. On a side note, they do offer good sell prices and pay promptly. Overall I feel they're a top-notch organization.
These are trading hands in China for a thousand less. You should be able to find one with a lower markup. Best wishes, Peter Anthony http://www.pandacollector.com
