Back to the e-bay issue and fakes: my coins now in the hand, not the post, silver 2001 D confirmed as bona fide having checked with NGC data and advice........... 2008 silver panda with diagonal not vertical reeding also bona fide....so I'm happy with e-bay sellers I carefully choose anyway.
Having watched a u-tube clip on fake Pandas where the fakers even managed to recreate the diagonal reeding my Pandas will go to PCGS after after all. Example I saw was pure silver overlay onto copper, double sealed as from the mint............only Alarm bell was he bought it from China and I have avoided that. I must stop repying to myself!
