Any idea whats going on http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-10Y-Ch...746?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item487f506dda
Dunno. In the Chinese Coin Forum, PandaAmerica posted to buy large quantities of Silver Pandas from 2003 thru 2014. Kinda weird that a panda distributor would be looking to buy to augment their inventory from the secondary market. :/
So that's why lately there's so many people wanting to buy pandas. Is there a genuine demand or just a distributor creating a false demand due to low spot prices?
I would NOT think that a distributor wanting to buy large volume of previous year issues is enough to affect the prices. More likely they have first hand info on a real demand they want to cash in on. :|
Well that could be true but it has already achieved its desired effect. In the local forum in Singapore alone, so many people are suddenly looking to buy past year pandas. Makes for an interesting observation!
I wonder if the China Coin and/or Banknote Exchanges have anything to do with this? http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?topic=11410.0
it is the Nanjing exchange driving prices in some part ..but also I think we have turned a corner on pre 2009 panda,s for sure. the 2010 price as far as I'm concerned at apx $60 each isn't that much more than it should be even though price is driven by speculation .when silver spot was $30 that is what the coin sold for .IMHO there will be some folks 5 years from now saying to themselves "damn I should of bought that stuff in 2014,2015" you normally know when a bottom is when it passes you by waiting to pick that absolute moment in time and getting it right is extremely difficult.
I just can't wrap my head around 12 million minted (what I've hear it may be this year??) and the price for a 'normal bullion coin.' But, I could be the guy that the train left on...oh well. )
Once you go sub 1,000 mintage, all coins begin to appear like a mass produced ASE bullion coin. :lol: .
