A Florida dealer on my old dealer-to-dealer network made the following posting:
"Beware of some struck 1/4 ounce gold pandas that are counterfeit!!!!!!!!!!!
The ones I saw are dated 1984 and 1986
They weigh right
They however are thicker than normal
They have white metal inside and dont test as gold
Some are in hard panda plastics so take them out and check thickness
They are struck and look good as the real ones
The ones I saw (5) came out of Palm Beach County"
