    2021 10 oz. Kookaburra?

    Apologies if this has been discussed, but wondering if any of you have heard anything from Perth Mint about the release of the 10 oz. silver 2021 Kookaburra. Here in the U.S. I only saw a sale sheet that said it would be delayed when they announced the 2021 bullion program, but haven't seen or...

    PF70 2018 1 oz. Macau Show 30th Anniversary

    I haven't been active in the panda community for the last few years and can't find much info about this medal in terms of recent sales or value. Any help would be appreciated. This is the 1 oz. silver panda issue from the 2018 Macau show. The 2 oz. version seems more common. I have the original...

    [SALE] 1987-S and 1988 1/20 oz Gold Pandas

    Hey All, Been away from the Panda game for a long time now. I have two stray pandas left that could use a good home. I would consider these NCS candidates as there are some minor copper colorations on each coin but the condition otherwise is very nice. See photos. My cost was $90/ea. I...

    White/Copper Spots Experiment

    White spots of death, ghosting and copper spots are common issues we talk about when it comes to Pandas, Canadian coins, and many others. I was given some coin cleaner as a gift a while back and after using it on a variety of circulated 90% US junk coinage with impressive results, I thought I...

    Lunar Pricing Help

    I admit that I have been out of touch with the Lunar market for the better portion of this year. I posted up some sets and other coins, but have received little interest so far. Just curious if some of you experts can take a look and let me know if my prices are way off. Shipping these...

    Should I Get Back In?

    As some of you know, I liquidated my entire silver panda collection. Raw, OMP, NCS, NGC, PCGS... the works. I had bills to pay and a business opportunity that just didn't materialize as planned. So now as I am getting around to visiting the forum again, I'm finding that I do miss some of my...

    NCS Experiment

    A while back I posted some photos of a beat up 1994 S10Y panda that I "rescued". I later decided that I would submit it to NCS as an experiment to see if they could restore any of its former glory. Below are the results. *Warning: This is just to illustrate one experience and is not meant to...

    Precious Metals are On Sale! Or are They?

    I'm usually pretty active on here, but I've been out of the markets for a few months, distracted by other things and trying to enjoy the spring and summer. But, with the pullbacks in metals, I got the itch to think about some purchases. But, I wanted to see if gold, silver or platinum is really...

    Sale experience @ my local meet

    I live just outside of Chicago, Illinois, USA. I attend an area meet with 50-75 dealers monthly. Generally there is only 1 dealer who has an assortment of pandas and then maybe 3-4 that have a stray here and there. Overall, panda enthusiasm is usually low in my area. Today wasn't much different...

    NGC Charging for Varieties?

    Just read this note about panda varieties in the NGC newsletter. To me, it sounds like you will now have to select the VarietyPlus service and they are going to charge an additional $12 fee to have a variety attributed (Large Date, Small Date, etc.) on the label during grading...

    MS What? -- Determining the value of Graded vs. OMP

    So, I know we've successfully -- and thoroughly -- determined that Pandas are most desired either in OMP or NCS/NGC-graded, followed by PCGS-graded. We've also concluded that MS70 is primarily for serious collectors while MS69 is primarily for investors. So I want to take another approach to...
