[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5247586, member: 115909"]Lol I actually have all kinds of silver bullion coins from all over the world that I paid a premium for. Not just Pandas and Silver Eagles but also Maple Leaves, Britannias, Kookaburras, Libertads, Philharmonics, Somali Elephants, etc., That’s when I realized that Queen Elizabeth’s face is on like 1/2 the currency in the world. I find that they can be a good investment if you wait several years because once each year ends the coins from that year tend to go up in price as the next years coins are minted. Inevitably there are always people out there needing those dates for their collections and willing to pay a premium for them. As for China.. Actually some of them were even more underweight than 1/2 a gram. The lightest one I tested weighed 29.8g which is over 1 gram less than the 31.1g required for a full troy oz. My guess though is that APMEX assumes anything that comes directly from a government Mint, with no middle man in between, is authentic. They probably don’t crack open Monster Boxes of Silver Eagles for testing either because they assume if it’s coming from the US Mint it’s going to be genuine & legitimate. In fact I’ve bought sealed tubes of ASEs from APMEX which means they couldn’t possibly have tested them. [ATTACH=full]1218591[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
