[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7838262, member: 115909"]I don’t trust Chinese Pandas. Ever since I got a 1 oz Chinese silver Panda that weighed 31.04 grams instead of 31.1 grams I’ve stayed away from any PMs coming from China. It’s true that .06 grams isn’t much under at all but it’s the principle of the matter. Every other country puts a tiny bit of extra silver to make sure that when they guarantee 1 troy oz that that’s what it is and not a milligram less. My guess is China does it on purpose. If they save .06 grams an ounce they save 6 grams for every 100 pandas minted. Considering they probably make millions of them that is hundreds of pounds of silver they are robbing people of. Oh and before anyone says it: This is before China switched to the 30 gram standard and was still advertising them as 1 troy ounce not 30 grams like they do now.[/QUOTE]
