More like brass, at least seller saying these aren't really gold Panda. A lot of fake Panda out there, buy from reputable source. I would avoid ebay most of the time with these bullion all together, watch out for the fake slabs too. |

Avoid Pandas like the plague if you don't know the series, there are many fakes coming out of China these days, some of which are very convincing. Always buy Pandas from a reputable dealer with a refund policy on inauthentic coins. Silver Pandas generally trade for more than bullion a year or two after mintage and quickly become numismatic collectibles.
That said, there have been a few instances of legitimate copper Pandas issued by the Bank of China, but they have been few and far between. Pandas are probably the most faked modern coin in the world, IMO.

They say AU.999, but notice not a one sells for more then ten bucks....
Even the really slow noobs are on to this scam....
They lists it for what it is, hoping someone will actually think they the seller are dumb enough to have REAL gold 1/10th oz. Panda's listed wrong an selling for 10 or 15 bucks. Any dollar past a couple an they are making pure profit....
If they were really on the up an up an not trying to deceive they would point out their plated over brass in .999 or whatever the case. An they would not even get much more then a five dollar bid, but as is the dumb dreamers push them up to 10 maybe 15 bucks. But why not, many of the same ones waste that much in one trip into the local gas station on a roll of lottery scratch offs, so nothing much lost an certainly nothing gained....

I agree that this is a very deceptive marketing of a COUNTERFEIT object. Yes they admit that it is counterfeit, and thereby encourage others to buy them to try and sell. It is pandering to the larceny in the hearts of others. Otherwise the price tag is too high. I believe that this practice is SPECIFICALLY not allowed under ebay rules. The ONLY way that this could ever be legal is for it to have the word COPY deeply impressed upon it on one side. Edited by tmaring

i brought it and asked for 4 more, the reason, I am going to leave them laying around. if someone ever decides to rob us with luck they find those and take off, a few bucks spent that might help save the main coins if the worst ever happens.
