<p>[QUOTE="JeffC, post: 4544620, member: 90913"]I fully agree with you regarding the center strip on the steps. But I also agree with the NGC article. How do I reconcile this? Well, the article was describing the 2001 Panda. For that year, the center strip of the steps was completely blank. I usually buy my Pandas from Apmex or Provident.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other years (although I don't know if it's ALL other years), there are "weak" patterns that can be seen on the center strip of the steps. By the way, I have a fake Panda from 2013. Strangely, on that coin, the designs on the center strip are crisp and sharp! If you asked a layman, he would surely say that the fake 2013 that I have is the real deal and the remainder (with the weak designs along the center strip) are fake. It's very counter-intuitive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
