<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pandacollector, post: 970360, member: 26583&quot;]So here&#039;s the deal as I see it: aldergold included photos of the numbered COA (has to be 58 or under) and the original box and a photo of the Temple of Heaven side (it&#039;s the obverse) to demonstrate his possession of this very rare coin. Mr. Cheetah has shown none of those, perhaps because the numbers would give away that he doesn&#039;t have the three coins he claims to have – or maybe because Mr. Rim&#039;s Cents forgot to send those to him. I have stated that in my opinion, based on a lot of experience with Panda coins and sellers, cheetah&#039;s a cheater. It was offered here for anyone who may have been tempted to spend a lot of money on what appeared to be a bargain but may not really be one. People can take that information and buy all three of his &quot;coins&quot; if they want, but at least they have some information on which to make a reasoned choice. </p><p><br /></p><p>Seller alderwood can prove his ownership of the coin with a photo of the reeding on the side of the coin. The serial numbers for this series are stamped there. It needs to match the COA. That will eliminate anyone else&#039;s claim that they are the actual owner of this particular gold coin and that they granted permission to others to use it. Mr. Rim&#039;s Cents apparently hypothetical claim of possession would, I believe, be severely weakened if he couldn&#039;t provide photos of the matching serial numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the point of this discussion is to alert collectors to my concerns about what I&#039;m fairly sure is a scam, not prosecute a criminal case or argue the legal code. I hope that&#039;s been accomplished.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yes, I&#039;m not in the least bit troubled by missing out on the $25,000 item. If I collected the Kilo gold Panda series – which I don&#039;t – I would buy Mr. Aldergold&#039;s and sleep well in the belief that he is a legitimate seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes and happy collecting to all,</p><p>Peter Anthony</p><p><a href="http://www.pandacollector.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pandacollector.com" rel="nofollow">www.pandacollector.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
