[QUOTE="JeffC, post: 5223283, member: 90913"]I can help there. Your post stoked my interest! And made me worry a bit, especially since I have been collecting them since 2015. I get mine from Provident or JM Bullion. I've also bought older ones from the secondary market. Altogether I have 2006 to 2020. Of course, now I need to weigh them. When I read this before getting home, I sort of agree with [USER=76266]@longshot[/USER]. If this was an ongoing prevalent practice, it would have been numismatic news by now. That's why I was curious about mine and couldn't wait to weigh them. Here are the results: [U]1 OZ. PANDAS[/U] 2006: 31.23 2007: 31.06 2008: 30.97 2009: 31.29 2010: 31.20 2011: 31.28 2012: 31.18 2013: 31.18 2014: 31.06 2015: 31.07 (Coincidentally - it's underweight - like all of yours!!!) [U]30g PANDAS[/U] 2016: 29.99 2017: 30.05 2018: 30.00 (on the nose!) 2019: 30.04 2020: 30.15 Because all of yours were from 2015, it could've been a "bad batch." That's not to say that China does not have [I]horrendous[/I] QA/QC processes. You may have touched on something though. I've often wondered why the weight and purity are not on the 2015 pandas.
