    Unless I really knew what to look for I wouldn't be buying Pandas off there. But that's just me.

    So to answer your question I don't know DOH !!

    For starters, and it is a HUGE tell that they are fake.

    The 5 ozers DO NOT have a value, they should have 50 Yuan value minted on them.

    On top of that.

    The 1 oz coins should have a 10 Yuan value, not 20 or 50.

    They are ALL fake.

    Yeah they are fake & I told eBay about too, it so hopefully they will be delisted before anyone else gets burned.

    They are still listed but the seller has added COPY to the description.

    At least, that's being honest about it.

    Now this seller is calling them classic coins instead of copy coins. His account should be canceled.

    Just spotted this store on e-Bay

    Is this the same seller already reported ?

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/riuynn58?_trksid=p4340.l2563

    PS - After reporting to e-Bay as suspect fraud / counterfeit, within a few hours the item and shop disappeared !
    A result at last.
    This seller and shop was based in Australia - be careful out there !!

    It actually seems like ebay is being overrun with fake pandas.

    I'm just thinking about starting a stack and I think that this has convinced me to go through reputable dealers instead of ebay.
