A quick scan of eBay shows multiples of both round and straight shoulder from a couple of sellers. So although there may be slight differences in mintage/price I doubt that there would be a huge gap. A bit like the 1996 1oz LD/SD which go for similar prices.
Some recent "wins" from my NCS and NGC submissions after joining about a month ago. Besides the 2011 that was cheaper to buy as an MS69, these are all coins I bought at what I considered "bargain" prices (close or equal to OMP rates after grading fees), and submitted after examining in hand (no loupe). I did get a few 68s back, so now, after examining those with a magnifying glass I feel better knowing what to look for in future submissions. These will be the start of my MS69+ personal collection. The photos are quick snapshots, so apologies for not being my best work.
Could be a fair assessment A. The 1 oz LD/SD go for similar prices true, however the est mintages are far from similar, where the SD variety (off the top of my head) is fewer. I think the 96 halves are one of the unknown mintages years, that's why I bought a few off yennus. For the life of me I don't know how they'll work out the rarer variety if any. Still that's something I ve learned about Pandas today... a new variety, exciting stuff!
Just got this in the mail today Love my carded panda's, something a bit different with usualy low release numbers plus they still quite reasonably priced.
Pardon the pretty crap pics, using my phone Arrived today: My silver slabbed panda journey so far: Will take better pics when I finish the set to gloat mwahaha
Thanks Chris, nothing compared to yours though lol... your 2 mirrored Pandas worth more than my entire collection I think
You are far too kind... I don't have many graded Pandas at the moment... though hopefully I will in a few months
Got it already Only missing 89, 91, 93, 95, 96 Yeah I know, I bought 2 MS69s LD/SD and a MS68. Pretty expensive >_<. But prettttttty. Edit: Better quality pic!
