Pandas are currently too cheap! As more sets start getting collected, I can imagine these Pandas are going to go sky high. Remember, a collection is limited by the smallest mintage. So there are going to be less than 500,000 complete sets for those collecting from 2000-2011 available for the entire population of China (and the world), and even less than that if you include those which have disappeared, or been mishandled, melted, etc.
Seems the Chinese Govt. are intent on turning their citizens into PM investors. So what's the endgame with that strategy. I know - when Silver is $1000 ozt there will be a govt buyback at $500 ozt. Just a wild guess.
I used to dance when I was younger - my favourite dance was the, "New reserve currency backed by a precious metal standard so you can stick your $US up your Republican/Democratic convention and recognise the dragon in the East is rising Waltz".
