chinese gold and silver panda were bought and promoted by american. most coins were in the hands of american. in the near future. millions of chinese citizens might like to buy back those older issues of chinese gold and silver panda. i see the whole series can have a very good potential to jump up its prices. it might range up from 300% to 1000%. believe it or not. so far i got nothing yet. i am late on this one. do you guys have it?. please tell us.
Had Pandas, Sold Pandas. Never much liked the cartoon-ish Panda designs. They tend to get copper spots over time, probably as a result of too many impurities left over in refining. Chinese mintage numbers for Pandas are an utter mess as well, they are just all over the place. The quality of the Panda seems pretty rough too. I've seen plenty of thems that look like the dies were not treated all that well and the coins seemed to not be handled that carefully after minting. There were some years when counterfeits became a big problem and killed a lot of interest in them. I think some collectors like that the design changes almost every year unlike other coins like AGE that never change the design. I don't think the older Pandas will take off with much of a numismatic premium for they are just bullion, at least not the way some unc. AGEs go beyond their established premiums over other coins. Now if they stop producing Panda coins then they are bound to take off as demand for them grows. I believe the designs won't matter as much to a future Chinese market. The Chinese markets voracious appetite and pursuit of anything and everything made of gold will continue to be the crux of their desire... more, more, more.
thanks krispy. i have no ideas about panda coins. maybe gold will be popular among them. not silver. i plan to buy one piece of 2010 silver. since you said it will have copper spot in the future. i might drop and pass this one. as for foreign silver bullion: i only got 5 pc of australian lunar series II "year of the ox". and 3 pc "year of the rat". i like their diameter. 45.+ mm. i plan to buy some "year of tiger". so far no maple leaf, libertad, philharmonic, britannia and others. i have some 608 pc ASE bullion one ounce dated 1988 and 1992. average price at $6.46 each. that's it.
I like the Perth Mint products and trust their fineness in gold and silver as well they have the Lunar Coins which may be attractive to those who like the designs from the Asian calendar. Canadian Maple leaf is a nice .9999 fine silver but the current portraits of the Queen are scary looking. Mexican Libertad is stunning in silver proof and also nice in unc but they usually come with more of a premium. I think the 1 oz. coins are the only ones worth picking up, the larger and small denominations are gimmicky. Austrian Philharmonic are nice in silver and gold but the smooth edge is kind of an odd feature. Britannia designs change a lot. I don't have any of them. I prefer the old gold Soverigns though.
i like the australian gold lunar II series diameter at 38.+ mm. but then the design were not impress me. i like the britannia silver coins. but it cost a lot when each year initial offering. like 2010 cost you $34.99 each. and it is sterling silver i guess. so far american eagle and chinese panda are the best for me. i wish the mint will produce american silver buffalo.
I picked up a few of the pandas, I got them for a bit over melt, I bought them because before that all I saw had an eagle type premium, I still need to find a nice example of the new Mexican Libertad, I have seen them but the premiums were too much over spot, I agree that the panda designs are cartoony, but the panda lends itself to that, remember andy panda?
i wish we could have a $100.00 .9999 fine 24k gold coin with a krispy portrait. and a $5.00 silver coin with elaine portrait.
Realistically, I don't think millions of Chinese citizens will ever give a rat's behind about gold and silver bullion coins. Dream on, dudette.
I like the looks of the gold Panda, but the only way I will own one would be in a graded slab. (only to prove it's not fake)
