[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5225619, member: 115909"]Thanks for providing follow up data! I think based on what I’ve seen we can conclude that China has a regular tendency of producing underweight bullion that does not even meet LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) standards. If this was some small random Chinese Mint I could let it slide as poor quality control but this is the freakin’ Chinese government. I’m sure they keep very close watch on their silver & gold supplies and can’t help but notice that for every 997 ozt of silver provided the Chinese Mint is pumping out 1000x “1 ozt” pandas. Whereas other countries like the US, UK, Canada, Australia etc., end up using like 1013ozt to make 1000x Silver Eagles, Britannias, Maple Leaves, Kookaburras etc., To me that’s fraud. Flat out. Advertising something as 1ozt when it consistently misses that mark by not an insignificant amount. If anyone has evidence of gold pandas that’s what I’m really curious about. If they’re cutting corners on those they are seriously ripping people off. Heck 1/2 gram is like $30 of missing gold per coin. I’m very glad people are taking interest in this topic. I didn’t think too many people would be interested but it’s great to see people are.[/QUOTE]
