<p>[QUOTE="Pandacollector, post: 970109, member: 26583"]Take a look at this 1997 1 kg. gold Panda sale (<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%2F1997-Chinese-Gold-Kilo-Panda-Coin-Only-58-Minted-%2F260647640621%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0" 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%2F1997-Chinese-Gold-Kilo-Panda-Coin-Only-58-Minted-%2F260647640621%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1997-Chinese-Gold-Kilo-Panda-Coin-Only-58-Minted-/260647640621?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0</a>). The coin in question contains $38,500 of gold yet was snapped up for $25,000. If that's not bad enough, the seller – appropriately named cheetah (ha, ha) – did it twice, unless the first sale was later canceled! <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%2F1997-Chinese-Gold-Kilo-Panda-Coin-Only-58-Minted-%2F260644248249%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0" 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%2F1997-Chinese-Gold-Kilo-Panda-Coin-Only-58-Minted-%2F260644248249%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1997-Chinese-Gold-Kilo-Panda-Coin-Only-58-Minted-/260644248249?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0</a>.
