Heck, I've never even seen a single panda let along a whole sheet of them. I can see why you would be excited. Very nice catch! Awe, heck! Just before tripncoins started this great thread I was all excited about buying >my< first four panda coins and showing 'em off! It's okay, though. Until I buy a macro lens for the Canon, my photos can't add anything to the great photos that have already been posted by others. I will say that, so far, the silver panda doesn't disappoint. I've got coins 2009 through 2012 and it's a very beautiful and striking series. I try very hard to avoid bullion that commands a substantial premium, but it's easy to see how people get caught up trying to collect 'em all. We see lots of good ones, but I think this is one of my favorite silver haul threads in a while.  |

I appreciate everyone's responses and support - these Panda's are gorgeous. I have a confession to make. I went back to the show and I went on a gold hunt. I almost picked up the St. Gaudens but passed this time around. I did pick up a little near 3 oz's and another roll of 25 silver Moose Maples. The interesting gold piece is a 2007 Gold Maple Sealed from the Royal Canadian Mint. I bought it near spot. I also dug up a loose 1 oz Gold Maple, 1/2 oz kangaroo, 1/10th Panda and some loose bars. As I left an older gentleman sold me a 1996 ASE for 34 bucks. I gave him $35.
Way too much fun and this forum is awesome!
And to throwbackid - yup - I passed the 1k mark. I lost count after 1.2k     |

I don't think you've seen these, Ed. The first is one of the earlier ones, as you can tell from the relatively simplistic design. The second is a 2001. The Chinese came a long way in a short time with modernizing the appearance of their Panda series. They're truly beautiful, elegant bullion. 1995 Panda  2001 Panda  |

Trip, Those gold coins are beyond desirable. I couldn't take my eyes off of the angled-cut GML. It's simply mesmerizing. I never thought of myself as greedy until I laid eyes on that coin. If I email and ask for directions to your house and the code to your security system, better not give me them. I might just have to turn in some of my silver and get my own so I can stop drooling all over my keyboard. I'm sending you the bill if it stop working |

Very nice, Traevin. You're right, they did come a long way in a short time with their coin design. They are a unique coin that shows a unique animal that is identified with China. The fact that they are so well made add some very nice icing on the cake. Sorry to hear that you are a disabled vet. Thanks for your service to our country. I am continuously amazed at the quality of the people who volunteer to defend us and our interests. I just wish that we had more leaders who would only consider military action as a remedy of last resort. I grew up in a military family and got a close up view of the sacrifices involved... at least as well as one can for not being in the military myself. It takes a lot to be up for that. |

Sorry to hear that you are a disabled vet. No problem, Ed. It was a privilege to serve and nothing I'll ever regret. The military made me the man I am today. And you're right. The men and women who shed blood and got out alive are usually among the last folks you'll ever see beating the drums of war. Like you, I'm from a long line of military men. I can trace them all the way back to the Spanish American War. My uncle, a Green Beret in Vietnam, had the honor of being the most decorated soldier in Delaware, my home state, up until the recent Iraqi conflict. Too many relatives to count in the active military or the reserves. Good memories. |

Like wise sir! Your stack has grown to a fortress and still growing - it's scary good with all the variety you've picked up!
My silver hunger games have just started! |
