Anyone heard about release dates?
I heard October for Pandas but that seems extremely early.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows so I can slow my stacking and save for a roll or 2.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, couldn't find a bullion section

I love a Panda as does the entire PM world as a whole, as long as they aint fake which often they are.... The fake factor makes me real leary of Panda's so if I buy them it is from a place like MCM or APMEX so as to know for sure you are getting the real deal and that is probably not even 100%.... |

I haven't bought fake pandas ... even from ebay1) know what you buy; 2) never buy anything bad pictured; Haven't seen good fake so far which I wouldn't determine as fake ... spent hrs to learn how to id fake pandas - investment payed out quickly as panda stack is growing. I wish 2014 panda looks like 2002 ) |

I have not started collecting the pandas yet. I like them but as others have said, I am afraid of the fake factor. I have been hooked on the elephant, ASE, and wildlife series from Canada lately |

Silverhawk I totally agree. And I actually purchased ONE fake off ebay. It was within last few seconds in the auction so I grabbed it at a good price. THEN I researched the pic lol. Found out it was fake and got my refund before he even shipped it. I asked if he knew it was fake and never responded. Bekiz Wow I wish theyd go back and spruce up some older designs. They just awesome looking but. I'm not paying $60-$200 for an old bullion Panda lol. |

I love how a sheet of 30 comes. I don't plan on buying more then 1 sheet but I think a sheet of Pandas at release are almost always a good bet. They are double sealed and cool as heck in my opinion.

Colu41, the most I payed for bullion panda is less than $50,(years 1989-2012), so may be that's the reason why my panda collection half done but I'm not rushing. My rule is simple: do not buy the coin if it cannot be resold for more than I payed, so I still can sell these for profit.
ANyway more and more sets have very expensive coins, elephants have 2005 coin, kookaburras have 1990&2008 ones, wild life have wolves, britannias have 2001, koalas have 2007&2008. So if one is for collecting as well then there's very low chance to avoid them.

Bekiz if you don't mind me asking, where do you pick up your Pandas?
As my LCS is very limited on inventory. They usually have a few 1000 oz there but, Eagles and generic rounds only so. Online is my only source.

colu41, I buy pandas from coin shops ... ebay ... forum sellers very often I trade or resell pandas so that I am able to finance purchase of another coin As I wrote - I'm not doing it every day as spotting something for less is not easy, but when I have a chance - I grab the deal. |

Just got an email from my supplier.
2014 Kookaburras now available, 2014 Pandas coming soon. The 2014 design is a single panda facing forward, playing with a piece of bamboo, in front of a bamboo forest. Looks like a lot of detail.

The 2014 is coming:
"My sources tell me that the 2014 Pandas will be available in mid-October at the Beijing Coin Expo. This is earlier than in prior years.
Best wishes,

Only about 1 week left to buy 2013 coins before the price jump..... I am waiting for a dip (missed that yesterday morning).

I am not sure that the 2013 Pandas will be higher price as the earlier years, higher mintage can bring down premium. Do anyone know the mintage figure for each year, please post it here or a link?

2013 mintage is 8 millions (2014 mintage supposed to be the same). 2012 mintage is 8 millions also (some source said it was a little less). 2011 mintage is 6 millions Here's the link: http://www.silverdoctors.com/massiv...and-mintage/We will not see a large pop in price, compare to such years prior to 2011. However, I've seen the price increase by at least $5 to $10 as the latest coin replaces the previous year coin. IE: Comparing the price of 2012 vs 2013. |
