<p>[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 4535427, member: 5629"]Personally, I would be using a precision scale accurate to 0.001g. But, in any case, the coin just does not have the right <i>feel</i> to it. It could be just the way you took the photos, but the fields look more like enamel than a nice reflective mirror fluid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even in your comparison photo, I can see the nice reflective outlines especially around the mother's head near her right ear. Regardless of what some people may say about <i>Chinese</i> anything numismatic...these Pandas are some of the highest quality minted bullion items...works of art. And you should be able to pull away your full arm's length in a good light and see the reflection of your own face looking back at you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
