Thanks for the post fishball i have read many of your posts and see some of the nice coins you posted. I was also gambling a bit but its not a big deal because i only spent a bit over $200USD. I was just hoping for 1 or 2 nice coins and then maybe a couple i could give as gifts to my brothers or just sit on as bullion silver weight.
thats a good point right here. I am mainly a bullion buyer but i will spend some extra cash for something i like just because it makes me happy. I bought a few graded pandas but want some i can actually hold outside of the slabs. In addition i hope to get a variety i don't have which is almost every year i will report back for anyone who cares. Silverbulldog
thanks for the post and i guess i got a little excited and wanted a quick response. I was not expecting flawless 2000 Pandas or MS 70 1989 Panda or anything like that i just hope i get one of those 2008's or something before then. Silverbulldog
HI fellow Stackers, I got my shipment of 5 Silver 1 oz Pandas Random date from Apmex. I got 3- 2008 Pandas 1-2007 Panda 1-2010 Panda None of the pandas have scratches but all of them have a bit of spotting like the pictures show online. I got two of the coins that i can see in their picture. I was hoping for at least 1 2008 because i love the design and the sections behind the Pandas that are proof like...sure enough i got 3 of them so i am overall pretty happy. i am almost tempted to take a 2nd stab and see what else i get but i will sit tight to see what my local shops have this weekend first before i drop another couple hundred on Apmex, Gainsville, or Provident Metals.

2008 is my favourite too. i got one off fishball - i dont know if it is because of the design or the quality of the strike but i think it is exceptional & it quickly became my favourite panda
thanks guys i was really expecting some scratches or rim nicks but only a bit of toning around the rim on a couple. If i can get some good pictures i will post them if anyone cares to see what you get in this mystery bag. silverbulldog
