I had a couple of inquiries about the condition of the Kookaburras (Lot #2), and the Pandas (Lot #3).
For the kooks, as best as I can see there are no scratches or milk spots on the coins, but there are some minor scratches on a few of the the capsules. There is some light toning on the 1990 kook in the square capsule, but no toning I can see on any of the other coins. Overall I consider the coins to be in excellent condition.
For the pandas, the question was more about the potential for them to be fakes. No offence taken at the question - it's a legitimate question for a prospective buyer to ask. While the coins have not been XRF'd, they were purchased in 2013 from Bullion Money in Parramatta - I still have the invoice. I've visually compared the pandas in the sheet with both a NGC MS69 graded 2013 panda, and a 2012 BU panda - to my eye the pandas in the sheet are of comparable quality, the detail is good, and I see no inconsistencies between the coins. Attached are some closeup photos.
