So Gecko's done it...

He posted a video showcasing the various different Panda designs throughout the years and now I'm officially hooked on them. Within 20 minutes of his posting, I've already purchased two NGC MS69 1/20 and intend on building an entire set, minus proofs. I would've chosen a larger size but the 1/20s fit any budget and I'm a US coin collector first, so these are enough to get me feet wet, as some may say.

Anyways, enough ranting, just giving some more thanks to Gecko and his cool vid.

    Glad to read that there is still some growing interest in the China Panda coins. Just 1 piece of information: there is NO 1/20 ounce struck for 1982 so your collection will be from 1983 to the present. Good luck. image

    I found that out after I already bought the other two on a whim and was bummed, but thanks for re-iterating just in case someone else catches the bug and decides to jump into the series.

    Anyone know where an accurate representation of the 1/20 oz. mintages can be found at? Are the PandaAmerica figures correct?

    Here is a fantastic reference. Sorry about the 1982 fiasco, I just assumed most people knew that. On the brighter side however, some panda experts dont even consider 1982 as an official part of the set as none of those 4 coins carry a denomination, which "technically" makes them medals and NOT coins.image

    No need to apologize, I jumped the gun, but regardless I was going to build a 1/20 set to keep the cost down but still appreciate the series for what it is.

    Thanks for the link!

    Sure, that will be in 2017! I currently only have 8 unique dates in the 1oz with a few dupes currently on ebay. 1984, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2002. Its a work in progress. What i'd really love to see is a video of your 1oz commems and platinum collection.image

    If there ever is one then it would be somebody else doing it for me. Can't even do a decent pic of my coins much less a video. image

    No problem! Ship them over here via registered mail and i'd be THRILLED to showcase them in a video, absolutely no charge. I'll even pay the return shipping on my own dime.image
