    Hello Cointalkers.
    It's been a long time since I posted. I still have "My Father's Collection" in tact! (see old posts for an outstanding collection)

    I have not added any coins or bullion since 2022.
    But I found a few coins at a garage sale and could not resist.
    The middle-aged man had 20 abandoned storage units he was liquidating. So, since it was his business, I figured he should know the worth of the items he purchased.

    I got three Pandas (one PCGS and two NGC)slabs, one Chinese round and a 1918 Buffalo nickel all for $100. I quickly verified the slabs on PCGS/NGC and they were in the database. The round, I couldn't verify, could be counterfeit. The man had been to Asia.

    My question is: since the slabs are in the database does that guarantee 100% authentic? Or is there still some question?
    PCGS has a "value" of $40 on the Pandas, but it's an ounce of silver?!? Ebay, etc. has sold items for $99ish. What is the value of the Pandas, please?

    Thanks for your time.

    Remember that a year or 2 ago silver was $30-35/oz. Just depends when they were priced
