Thanks very much for the support guys. I am glad I could share something of interest. As for selling them, they are MY pandas :P :) I am sure you all understand the protective feeling! I hate seeing coins go, but I always need to free up cash for more coins! If anyone wants some of these kept...

Not really sure where the bidding is at with all of the trades, or even how many will go under the hammer... $150 for each

It is always easier to tell in person, but from the photos I would consider it to be not genuine. The plating is uneven as a number of other posters have mentioned. The OMP is also suspicious, there is a curved sealed edge in the bottom left. This does not confirm a fake, it could be a genuine...

Is this a coin you own or a coin you are interested in buying?

I dragged a few coins out of my deposit box for grading. Thought I would share a few snaps while they were in OMP. Sorry the photos are not great, it is hard to get the right contrast. 1989 Zhao Gongming Medal - Not all of these will be sent for grading, but since they have been popular here...

Can you issue a tax invoice from goldstackers for SMSF, or is it a personal sale?

In hindsight hedging would have been wise, however it really is a moot point. The mint clearly decided they would buy a lot of silver, thus exposing them to the possible rewards as well as the risks. Realistically, they feel they can wait months and months until they can turn a profit on their...

Both will cause issues. The older pandas tend to have random white spots appear in mirror fields which are a result of reaction to contaminants in air. The newer, mass minted pandas are reported to have lubricant or die cleaner pressed into the surface, this is what reacts with the silver...

Optimistically, $800, realistically $600-700 if you wanted to sell it NOW. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-CHINA-SILVER-1-OZ-PANDA-NY-EXPO-NGC-PF-69-UC-RARE-/390342491159?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae239bc17 Is the most recent available comparison, however the raw price has jumped 10% since...

It is silly for the world market, but it does cause a frustrating legal quirk in Australia. 958 is not considered "investment grade bullion" in Australia, so any initial bullion value purchases you make will be subsequently taxed at 10% 999 is, so you can import a box of 2012 pandas, and not...

Do you give much weight to all the varieties, especially the "broken finger" and "super clear" that is mentioned in the china coin forum. They seem to me like they could be the product of die wear and reconditioning. Or worse, slight differences to mark the different dies used in restrikes. It...

Yes and no. The white spots are a result of a concentration of impurities in the metal which react with the air, and cause the silver to react with the air. NCS can sometimes remove the visible products of this reaction, but it is never a guarantee they will not return. Generally the small...

Not the best ever, however it is a stunning medal. The 1987 God of Longevity is even better, and something like http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9634356 is in a whole other league. I think it is the most appropriate forum for this discussion. While not a panda, this forum is really for the...

First of all, great choice. This really is an amazing medal, I have a few coins worth many times this, and they never get the oohhs and aaahs that this medal gets. The one let-down for me is that it does not have a date as part of the design, but that is made up for by the brilliant art and the...

http://www.tulving.com/ - But they have a significant minimum order. http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/ http://www.providentmetals.com/ All of the above are well known and reputable. You will have to do the maths about what order size to use to make the shipping worthwhile over buying a few...

Expo Pandas generally have a limited appeal, because to be frank, some of the events they are for are pretty mundane. Being for coin or money expos, they also have a habit of falling mainly into the hands of dealers, which means there could be quite an extensive hoard somewhere. That being...

I think the 2000 Frosted is a great buy at the moment. Most chinese sellers want close to 500 for OMP, but there have been plenty of coins sold in the 330-360 range on eBay. That MS69 for only 393US was a bargain I feel. The mintage is not especially low, but they are a great design, have the...

Resealing is done for any number of reasons, ease of transport, ease of storage, deceptively selling low grade coins, deceptively selling damaged coins, extra protection or regrouping coins that hat been removed from the plastic for storage/collection. I think the amount of resealing for...

I did mention silver coins specifically, however it would probably still be true for similarly dated silver. It is important to remember that NGC or PCGS may not always be in vogue, and they may not always be respected, they even might cease to exist. All it could take is one scandal of a...
