<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubuffalo08, post: 823152, member: 22274&quot;]Hi Elaine,</p><p>Just wonder where did you get the mintage for the Silver and Gold Panda bullions. Even the books I had written by the Chinese themselves didn&#039;t have enough evidence for 1995 - 2000.</p><p><br /></p><p>I share the same sentiments about hundreds of millions of Chinese wanting to own a Silver Panda. However, I do wonder about the sustainability of its price. Like now, prices of the 2010 Lunar Tiger minted by the Chinese mint are on a slide especially for the colored version. When the coins were initially launched, the prices moved upwards daily thus refuting claims that the Chinese don&#039;t give a hoot about the coins. Secondly, I also have the same concern on counterfeit issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree on comments about the quality of the panda coins pre-2001. But it is actually the imperfections of the coins that keeps me really keen on them. Even for the 2010 version, there are imperfections that lead to easily 4 different types in the same year. There are actually 3 types for 1995 and 1999 versions. I don&#039;t know how many 1oz Silver Pandas I have but I do have one each from every year and I keep a blog on spotting counterfeits and information about the Panda coins including tracking of their prices in ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for Gold Panda, their prices do not move much as they follow closely to bullion price except maybe for the 1995 version, which has the lowest mintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
