(If not: apples-to-oranges.)</p><p>2) &quot;a 2000 silver panda is already worth about $300.&quot; .... are you looking at premiums over 2-3 months, or best auction price? (I see one sold for <b>~$175.</b> on 2/12/2013.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Longer-term and by comparison, I agree that Chinese PM bullion has better potential to retain/increase numismatic value (versus US bullion, generally) but I wouldn&#039;t say my hunch is already proven. And cherry-picking coin examples/auctions doesn&#039;t provide proof. Don&#039;t ignore cost-basis or do <i>math-two-ways</i>, either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buying foreign coin as an investment, I&#039;d also want to understand what appeals most to the local (Chinese) market, rather than just my own (American) bias/aesthetic preference. Extra homework required, there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
