Not a Panda collector, but learning. Is the genuine panda on the left? This thread is interesting to a new comer to Chinese pandas. Thanks for posting the comparison. On the left is the fake one.This is the wrong way for the steps of the temple to make.I am new in pandas also but I 've learned the hard way  Paying  |

Epop, that detective work you did there to discover those fake, is nothing short of brilliant analyzing IMO, great work. I hate you had to loose out on a couple, but knowing those few minor differences is the difference between getting ripped off, and not. And on a large purchase, that could be most vital information....
I am guessing in all three photo's the fakes are on my left, and the real on the right?
That side profile picture, you can see where the fake looks thicker, and unevenly proportioned compared to the real one, which has a thinner straighter side profile....

You said the steps go the wrong way, they clearly look different, and if you look at the 2010 at the bottom left fake one, it does not look professionally stamped so to speak, and the numbers are to close to the bottom of the coin. It also looks as if the fake silver whatever metal, has lost its luster a bit around the edges, but of course that could be masked in a lie as "toning" I am sure....
I am having harder trouble noticing difference on Panda side, as if anything the date stampings looks less defined among the bamboo trees in the background....
I think information from Epop above, is a huge contribution to any who collects these Panda's and are lucky enough to spot it, thanks again....

thanks silverhawk74 for your good words.Imagine if these fakes arrived double sealed in Greece what happens in States the biggest numismatic market in the world.
To spot a fake is easy enough if you have an original coin for comparison.In these bullion coins it's difficult to make a nice copy because of the weight of precious metals.So always look the diameter the thickness and the weight.

I watched a lot of suckers paying hundreds of dollars for them. They will never get any coin. I wished I were able to notify them in time. Why do you think ebay removed bidder IDs? To protect crooked sellers. |

that's the matter that counterfeiters make sharp enough coins.But they cann't achieve the contrast between mat-proof - proof.You can see easily that on the ''sharp'' coin the date is not centered.

What do you Panda collectors store yours in? Do you just have them in airtites? Or is there an album I can buy?

I collect silver China Pandas too.
To prevent counterfeits from getting in my collection and to help with resale authentication, I only purchase NGC graded Pandas.

I purchased the 2011 for my daughter last year but I usually only buy from trusted dealers so I don't have to worry to much about counterfeits
