Nice Jim! First Federal is a whole bunch of places, based on my research anyway. And I do see where these coins are being shopped for $595 each! I'm not in it to make money, I already got a good deal, and besides, since my coin guy knows that I'm honest, I'm sure I'll have some good karma coming my way in the future. I *may* go to another dealer and sell this coin, after all I don't really collect Panda's. Might trade it for an AGE if I can pull it off.
Yep, he did. I'm thinking about trading him my last one for a 2013 1th oz. AGE in original packaging and a DANSCO for the ASE's. Should be a good even trade.
bty, what are AGE's? I've been throwing old coins in a box for 35 yrs. What's the best way to have them appraised, or checked out? I have a phillipines (sp) silver peso, 1oz, that says United states of america and phillipines on the other side. Date 1909, worth anything? Also got a 1943 steel penny, that's mis-stamed, anything there? I have not looked at these coins in 25 yrs, Probably a millionaire and did not even know it.....
AGE = American Gold Eagle. As far as your other questions, I have no idea, I'm a new collector myself. There's LOT'S of folks here that can help with just about anything. I'd post those in the correct forums like Coin Chat and World Coins, etc. If you're a millionaire, remember, you've got a friend named Mike!
Mike, did you get a letter of "authenticity" with your pandas?. Here is a new add for those coins. http://www.govmint.com/itemd.asp?it...=13_08-13_PANDA_CATALOG_SUPPORT&RRID=12628330
No I didn't. I would *assume* that a PCGS certification would suffice. It did for my coin guy anyway.
