    All legitimate Panda's are sold in capsules - my understanding is that they are machine handled and sealed at the mint. If it's raw and outside of a capsule, that's an immediate red flag.

    I own one Panda that was a gift. I try to stay away from pandas because so many of them are fake and like I stated above Pandas are much easier to fake than American Eagles because faking U.S. currency is a federal offense.

    Is that the only way your able to get it free? You can't get one from someone your more comfortable with?

    Well even if it's fake your covered by Amazon's A to Z guarantee even when buying from third party sellers off Amazon; so you'd be able to get your money back.

    How does that work? Should I just return it to the seller if it's no good? I will find out later today.

    Under your amazon account on the order there should be an option to return or under help you can select by order number to open an a to z claim from what I remember.

    You can get ten years for faking smack too, but do you think that stops anyone so inclined?

    Pandas are really risky. I stay away from those as I'm not sure if the next person will try to pass off a counterfeit. I hear a lot of counterfeits have been circulating.

    Thanks bro. The case has a crack in it and the panda is tarnished in one spot. I will weigh it later hopefully

    Looks sharp! Weight wouldn't help on a counterfeit of this high quality. They make full weight/full silver purity fakes of the better dates which have significant premium over silver spot. Don't think you have to worry about that with this year.

    This site is anti Pandas for what ever reason, fakes are pretty easy to spot, the only way anyone could get one past me if it was a highly numismatic one made out of real Ag or Au and I didn't do my homework before buying. You would have to be pretty dumb to buy a common year like that one that's fake and not be able to tell.
