<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adam1mc, post: 375120, member: 14679&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new here.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a coin collector, per say, but rather a collector of metals.&nbsp; I posted this question over at <a href="http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=138230" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=138230" rel="nofollow">RonPaulForums</a> hoping to get an answer but no one had one.&nbsp; After a quick Google search I found this site and I would like to pose my question here...</p><p><br /></p><p><i>I went to my first coin show this weekend. I am still relatively new to collecting PM&#039;s and I wanted to go to the show as I figured there would be lots of silver/gold as well as cheap prices due to competition (which there wasn&#039;t) plus I wanted to look for an interesting 1/10 gold coin to add to my collection.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Well I decided on the Gold Panda as I don&#039;t see many of them and I figured it would be fun to have. Well, apparently gold panda&#039;s have quite the markup and many are much more expensive than spot.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>After looking for a while I found a guy who offered me a 1999 1/10oz panda for $115. He told me that it was the second lowest mint date for that particular coin and that that year typically went for roughly 50% more than spot on ebay. After some discussion I bought the coin.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I went home and did some research.&nbsp; Sure enough, the coin was minted in the year that had the 2nd lowest mint. <a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Mintages-of-China-Gold-Pandas-1982-2006_W0QQugidZ10000000003517751" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Mintages-of-China-Gold-Pandas-1982-2006_W0QQugidZ10000000003517751" rel="nofollow">http://reviews.ebay.com/Mintages-of-China-Gold-Pandas-1982-2006_W0QQugidZ10000000003517751</a></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>However, I am unable to find this particular coin anywhere on the internet so that I can see how much the coin sells. If I could sell the coin for a nice markup and then go replace it with another 1/10 gold coin I would probably do it (and would even invest the profit into some silver rounds) as I am really only interested in the metal and not really the collectors value of the coin.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>The coin is in a hard plastic case which is then located in what appears to be sealed manufacturers soft plastic shell. I&#039;m not sure what the specific coin conditions actually mean, but, I looked at the coin with my magnifying glass and I don&#039;t see any scratches, marks or blemishes. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Anyone have an idea of the value?</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
