<p>[QUOTE="Pandacollector, post: 998357, member: 26583"]One of the more frequent errors that bungling counterfeiters make with Pandas is to mix up designs from different years on the same coin. The format of the Temple of Heaven side (obverse) of Pandas changes every few years. Here is an example on eBay that shows a photo of a counterfeit with mismatched designs: <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150494841810%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150494841810%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150494841810&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pandacollector.com/1990fake100y.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have posted an entire gallery of correct 1 oz. gold Pandas at <a href="http://www.pandacollector.com/gold-pandas-1b.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pandacollector.com/gold-pandas-1b.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pandacollector.com/gold-pandas-1b.html</a>. If you mouse over the coin image the hidden side will appear. Among the earlier years pay attention to the placement of the two stairways on the side.
