Where is the best place to buy chinese pandas from?
eBay has a very limited selection and I can't find any whatsoever (graded or raw) on any of the other auction/sale sites I could think of. I'm no expert in identifying fakes, even though I've read many of the online guides, and feel comfortable with graded ones.

NGC appears to certify the most Panda coins possibly because they have a Registry for Pandas. I also believe they are somewhat looser on their grading standards than PCGS whose Pandas sell for a premium over NGC especially in MS69.
The key date one ounce MS69 Panda coins are 1982, 1983, 1984. 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996. They will sell for quite a bit over the bullion value of the coins. An NGC MS69 1982 will sell for over $3,500; the other keys for over $1,000. 1982 and 1983 one ounce Pandas are tough dates to find problem free.
1986 through 1996 PR69 Pandas are seldom offered.
Edit to add: APMEX always has a large selection of ungraded Pandas and a few graded ones. Prices are typically the lowest to be found.
