Glad to see you onboard Steph!!! I wonder if it will become a passion for you as it has completely gotten a hold of me? You may become one of my greatest competitors Steph. Here are a few new pieces I got this week. I have a few more not yet photographed and will get to them shortly.

A Panda a Day keeps the doctor away! I've been buying Silver Pandas since 2005. They are beautiful!

gecko109

Here are a couple....I will add a couple more every 10-15 mins.

I think it's great that you like these and want to collect them, I just don't understand why you keep posting them in the US Coin Forum.

I want to show them off and let people see how beautiful these really are. If I posted them in the world coin forum, nobody would ever see them.

Santanico Pandamonium

Broadstruck

No issues... I'll stay away as I don't speak Pandanese!

While your waiting for Gecko109 to upload more pics from his fetish file... Enjoy Josh Groban singing Panda Love

Oddly enough, so does Gecko:

"Good forum etiquette" does not involve posting off topic threads, ESPECIALLY when the OT has really little significance. Would you enjoy daily threads on a COIN forum about a 3% gain in the DOW, or a 3% hike in the price of oil? Where, other than THIS reply is the word COIN mentioned? I think this is supposed to be the U.S. Coin Forum, not the Commodity Report Forum, is that correct?

stockwiz

you don't have to click on the threads. Anyways more freedom is the reason this forum is so great.. I'd rather have that then one filled with rigid moderators that would be moving this topic to "world and ancient coins" because it's off topic. Perhaps they should add another category for stock talk, bullion talk, commodity talk, etc. I guess ya just can't please everyone all the time.

Politics and the economy do not belong in this forum. We are talking about coins here though. So lighten up Francis.

Off topic topics you like- good. Off topic topics you don't like- bad.

Got it.

Not to worry, though- it doesn't really matter to me what topics (on or off) people choose to post about. Carry on!

Wrong again spudhead.

Offtopics with NOTHING to do about COINS....bad
Offtopics that at least are the focus of coins....tolerable
Watching a spudhead get his panties in a bunch over this......PRICELESS!

Here are a couple more for your viewing pleasure.

Foreign bullion (those are not coins) do not belong in this forum either as per forum rules. Therefore I would respectfully request taking posts like this to where they belong -- this is not a place for you to show off, it is a place to discuss US coins. Thank you for your consideration...Mike

adamlaneus

This _IS_ a place to show off your stuff. Some of the most interesting threads are about new purchases.

Those _ARE_ coins. Hard metallic disc produced by the government, complete with a denomination.

The only thing I could agree with is that this thread might of started in the world forum.
...so...
Stephanie, you totally blew it. 50 demerits. You are on probation.

I really like the Panda walking through the reeds or whatever those are. What year is that? Julie

<< <i>I really like the Panda walking through the reeds or whatever those are. What year is that? Julie >>


Both 2001 and 2002 have that design. And the reeds you refer to are bamboo.

NeoStar

2001 and 2002.

NeoStar

Oops! trozau beat me to it...

YaHa

Why do you guys like Pandas so much. Do you really know what Pandas are? They are Rosie Odonells lookalikes, See when Rosie puts on makeup and leaves her house after dark she is really the Panda you see. All of the other people are dressed up as Rosie lookalikes. Why do you think Ling Ling has a problem have little pandas, because Rosie doesn't go that way and we have to wait for China to let Rosie adopt some more.

I couldn't help myself

On the year 1989: This was the only year that the China Mint issued 1 troy ounce palladium pandas. So, for that year only, you can get a 1 troy ounce gold, silver, platinum and palladium.

Robb

I much prefer the rabbit.

gecko109

Julie, as other have stated, thats a 2002. For 2001 and 2002, identical desgns were used for the first , and last time in the panda series. The Chinese government wanted to have a single design, and that was to be it for all future pandas. However, the outcry from collectors was so great, and the sales for 2002 so poor (hint: lower mintage year) that they were forced to abandon the solo design concept thankfully. Part of the great thing about these coins is the ever changing designs. Here is the 2002 in gold:

trozau

Another piece of Panda coin/medal trivia: For the 1988 Sino-Swiss Commemorative issued for The Basel International Coin Week, an estimated 600 - 1 troz gold pieces were struck accidentally from the die meant for the platinum version, indicated by "Pt" and an estimated 400 - 1 troz gold pieces were struck from the die meant for the gold version, indicated by "Au". In this case the non-error is rarer than the error coin/medal. BTW, no platinum medals were struck for the 1988 Sino-Swiss Commemorative.

So, I quickly go on Ebay and buy a proof of both years and after I win them I notice at the very bottem of the auction the seller has added "this is not a proof, made a mistake but will still run auction" just my luck I win an auction with no shills involved and it's the wrong coin. But I will keep them they were a great deal. Back to ebay to get proofs edit to add: the gold is beautiful!!

trozau

There are no proof issues of the 2001 and 2002 but the China mint refers to them as PL (proof like).
