[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5209547, member: 115909"]You’re right I shouldn’t have implied that. I guess what I was trying to say is that from the very beginning of my coin collecting/stacking hobby people constantly told me “Don’t buy APMEX! It’s overpriced and you’ll never ever make up the money you spent on the premium.” From personal experience I wanted newer people like I used to be to know that that was not always true and that buying from APMEX doesn’t always mean you will never get any sort of profit. However it’s also possible you won’t. Just don’t be afraid of buying APMEX. They do tend to cost more but they’re also known for integrity, authentic products, and good customer service. It’s also true I would need a much larger sample size to get high accuracy results but I was just working with what I had. However from every other Mint I’ve bought from they usually put a little bit extra silver to guarantee it was indeed 1 full oz and not a fraction of a gram less It’s interesting only the Chinese Mint had 40 out of 40 coins sampled as underweight whereas [B]none [/B]of the hundreds of other national bullion coins from all the other countries I tested were underweight. The lightest panda I tested was 29.8 grams. Over a full gram underweight. That is crazy underweight. Especially since this is being backed by the Chinese Mint as 1 full troy oz. I can’t imagine it’s all an accident that coincidentally makes the Chinese government tens of millions of dollars in silver.[/QUOTE]
