Incorrect my friend. In sheets of ten--one will always have the mint slip inside one of them. Every sheet I have bought has come this way.

thanks for letting me know i was wrong...i would not have asked if i was sure.

I have seen some sheets without any mint slip so i was not sure. If you look on ebay a bunch of the sheets don't have mint slips.

does anyone know if the 2000 Panda listed by Saltlakecoins.com is a legit panda. The guy who has the 2000 and some other pandas looks exactly like that one...slip looks the exact same. I will need to inspect in person to be sure myself but like i said i don't want to even meet this guy if you guys think the 2000 is bunk.

do you have any pictures of what a panda sealed with one of these mint slips should look like?

thanks Justfishin...i appreciate your time spent helping me...i am not a new collector but am a new numismatic to pandas. I only have purchased 8-10 graded ones and a few raw.

recently after buying the 5oz ANA Panda metal i am Hooked big time on these Pandas!! Panda Fever i guess you can call it!

if you have time look at the Ebay listing saltlakecoins.com has for the 2000 with frosted ring up for sale..that is the exact look of the one this guy is claiming to have for sale.

thanks guys!!!

Is better buy the 2000 frosted in ngc69 than in omp. Pricepedia 350 to 500 but a few months ago i saw a lot for less than 400
Peter put in pricepedia a warning a lot of fakes online and with fakes coas (and the only coas have the 2000 is the mint slip)
I prefer pay more and buy a ncs/ngc69 than a 2000 omp
 
Good work my friend. Still not taken down at the moment and the worst things is misinformed idiots are actually bidding on these poor quality fakes.

Oh, on another note picked up a 1/10 1982 Gold Panda in OMP yesterday. A real beaut and now almost have a complete set.

If you come across any phoney pandas, please list a picture of it here along side with a real one.

Thanks.

Some cultural education:
- pronounced "shaan zai" (shnzhi) [pinyin - shan1 zhai4];
Refers to Chinese imitation and pirated brands and goods, particularly electronics. Literally "mountain village" or "mountain stronghold", the term refers to the mountain stockades of regional warlords or bandits, far away from official control. "Shanzhai" can also be stretched to refer to people who are lookalikes, low-quality or improved goods, as well as things done in parody. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanzhai

Next time you come across someone selling a fake panda with some friends, you can utter the words "Shaan zai" between yourselves.

Yennus,

Good knowledge with regards to "shaan zai". I am a newbie on this site, but a regular on CCF - where I see you post occasionally.

By the way, I post on CCF with a different moniker, "dynamike51", so people don't confuse me as an impostor. =)
 
Is it real?

more coins for inspection ...
they are not in capsules, so, if they are real how it will affect their value?
how much would be a normal price for them?

they all look authentic , slight rubs on all three on the heads of the bears will effect the value if in fact they are on the coins, 1991 has rim defect or appears that way,value??, i will leave that to someone else as i am not that sharp on proof bears, Grizzlies is the resident expert:) if i was going to GUESS grades minimum 68,s with decent possibilities of 1 maybe 69 the 1991 is a little troublesome but all the marks might be on the holder
 
Here are more pandas for identificatin
looks like seller listed the whole series
but these one below were listed separately while 2001-2012 and 1991-2000 listed as a bunch with bad group photo

So, any thoughts on 1984 pandas?
Don't know if I should bid on them or just let it go to others if I'm not sure they are genuine.
 
They look pretty good to me... but then again, I've never had the opportunity to buy them at a price I was happy with... almost constantly strong demand for these Pandas.
