<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 915470, member: 19065&quot;]AGEs are the easiest to liquidate when you need to sell. This helps drive demand for them in addition to the assurance of their quality. They simply command a higher premium that dealers can make money on. A pure investor will be buying for the best price without excessive mark up and can identify that an AGE and a commemorative gold coin, while slightly different in weight, are both the same material, one selling at a better price for the material alone. Buyer or Seller should realize this and pay accordingly to best take advantage of their investment funds. Those with some or a lot of numismatic interest in the coins may be more likely to pay more for these, even if considered bullion, esp. if there is some aspect of higher grade or limited mintage carrying with it the potential for further numismatic premiums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good move on your Panda coins. I think there is a slight demand with more Chinese or Asian investors gaining the ability to buy and own gold, and the general hype for everyone to own physical. They seem to be doing a little better these days so you may have taken a good timing opportunity and benefited from the sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>I sold my remaining pandas earlier this year and was happy with the return. I had four 1989 pandas that I owned since &#039;89: one silver the other three fractional gold. The silver panda was toning inside the sealed plastic and both gold pandas had (unsightly) red spots developing. Common for some gold to have these spots, but to me, they were likely due to low quality control during minting. I was happy to sell them and reinvested the money in other things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
