Was thinking the same - price manipulation by silverstackers . Although at $295 each they probably still good value with a good chance they should appreciate much further - if not still happy to have a great looking coin.
My 2 coins arrived today, man they are big! Customs had opened my package - no drama though, at least they doing their job. Only gripe is coins came on their own, no display case! Assumed it would have the original Leningrad Mint box Have ordered a 60mm air-tite from Maggie, so hopefully will fit - now to track down a case off ebay!
They're fat huh no case? that blows have you contacted PandaAmerica for an explanation? I hope my others come with cases when they arrive, though it seems unlikely if yours didn't.. did they come with COAs? I got some 62mm Lighthouse caps, and there's a little room width-wise but they don't close fully because the coin is so thick. The 60mm ones should fit, if they do and if they close properly I'll get some too..
Yeah, got coa, came in a huge coin holder, must be 75mm wide! Will email pandaamerica and see what happens, don't like my chances of getting the display case off them though.
Well, just got an email from PandaAmerica, they have sent me 2 boxes for my coins Was not expecting anything, so a big thumbs up to PandaAmerica for a bit of service.
Ah, that is great news. Mine arrived yesterday and came with boxes, so I was wondering how you were going with it. :thumbsup: PandaAmerica Do you have your 60mm Airtite yet? If so, how's the fit?
Yeah, got an air-tite 60mm from Maggie, fits perfectly - even the right height etc - so hopefully fits into the display case ok. Was good that pandaamerica sorted it out, am trying to build up a bit of a relationship with them - the 2012 Chinese lunar dragons are out soon and I want one! Haha, nothing like a bit of sucking up to hopefully get myself onto the pre order list
Getting a deal from pandaamerica is a huge win, add in the fact you got a cool coin and it's a double win!
