<p>[QUOTE=&quot;StevenHarden, post: 1918086, member: 67639&quot;]Hello All,</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s been a little while since I last posted on this site.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been organizing things and looked into some older Chinese Gold Pandas that were collected several years ago.&nbsp; The majority of these are still in the original government plastic, while others are out of plastic but still preserved very well.&nbsp; These include items from 1/10 of an ounce to 1 ounce pieces from 1982 to 2007.&nbsp; I have sorted these by date, by size, by variety (if any), and by condition (basically either spotless or with minor red spots).&nbsp; Basically I would like to know whether it is worth it or not to grade (through NGC) all or some of these coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The item I am most interested in is a 1982 1 ounce gold panda which is effectively PERFECT.&nbsp;&nbsp; This coin is still sealed within the original plastic, except for a tiny cut on a corner of the plastic which might have actually saved it from PVC damage over time.&nbsp; Looking over the entire surface on the obverse and reverse I cannot detect even a hint of a red spot developing.&nbsp; I have seen people paying anywhere from 2,750 to 3,000 each for these as MS68 or sealed.&nbsp; Then I have seen people paying 5,000+ for MS69 graded pieces.&nbsp; The NGC price guide shows an MS69 price of 8,500.&nbsp; Does anyone know what these are retailing for right now???&nbsp; NOTE:&nbsp; The coin in question may appear perfect on the surfaces, but there are two TINY TINY rim nicks on the VERY EDGE of the coin.&nbsp; I am not sure how picky NGC is on the grading of these.&nbsp; Any comments on whether or not I should sent this in would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Is it worth removing from the original plastic?&nbsp; Or will NGC numerically grade it with the two SUPER TINY rim nicks?</p><p><br /></p><p>On a quick side note: Another NGC grading question.......Does anyone know how NGC grades Chinese Gold Pandas if they have red spots?&nbsp; Small to large, how do they vary their grading according to the obvious pinpoint red spots on a coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have many other Chinese Gold Panda coins, too numerous to list here in this initial post that I question whether or not they should be graded.&nbsp; Hopefully I will get a good response from this, and if necessary I can list the other items I have along with their size, varieties, conditions, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all in advance for you consideration on this topic.&nbsp; I do not see much on here about Chinese Gold Pandas, so I hope this will spark an interest in perhaps a more prolonged discussion on the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>-----Steven[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
