Need Help Identifying Silver

Hi all,

Wondering if someone can help identifying some silver bullion I have stumbled across.

First of all are the 1/2 oz (I think) Koalas in some blue packaging, they are sealed so I don't really want to open them to see what they actually are. I am guessing they are just standard silver koalas just a bit confused as to why they are packaged that way.

Next are some 20g silver pandas which I have no clue on, these are front and back pictures

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

First thing first, what I will do b4 jumping into any conclusion.
Take to any bullion dealer to test it with XRF to verify the metal content for them.


The Koala doesn't seem very legit.
It doesn't have any kind of stamp on it or what so ever.
The Koala imprint is not very clear.



The Panda , I wouldn't want to touch at all.
They could be cladding. If they are silver would consider as medal only.
The metal color doesn't looks right.

As metals price goes up these Fakes items will floods the market.

All this items may not hold any value at all.
 
I do remember that packaging , could be a Downies product , without opening the packaging no way to tell .
The toning on the Panda's does look good ,without getting them XRF tested ,no way to tell .
Otherwise spend hours on google images
 
The Koala looks fine but I would pull it out of that package and pop the coin into a clear airtight capsule. its not like taking it out of that ugly packaging will lower the value at this point you can't even see the coin. Thats the worst packaging I have ever seen.

The panda bars are very suspect but looking from the pictures they look okay. Those types of designs are done at 3rd parties not by the China mint or any other recognizable mint so they would be difficult to sell without testing with XFR gun.

I agree with the above go to a coin shop and you will be certain. In the meantime check with a magnet and pull that Koala out and show us a better picture and we can confirm. The panda bars will need tested either way.
