These coins are all graded PF69 and are beautiful with reflective fields and no visually apparent scratches, dings or frost breaks.  NGC holder is brand new with no scratches. Panda coins have been a solid investment during the last couple of years. The positive price performance is attributed to increase in the price of precious metals and increase in the number of collectors participating in the market as demonstrated by increased numismatic value (premiums collectors are willing to pay above melt value) for the coins. Moving forward, the current supply and demand drivers continue to present a very compelling case for further solid performance during next 5-9 years for the following reasons: 1) Historical analysis of precious metals vs stocks reveals that bull markets typically average 18 years, which puts the top sometime around 2017.* 2) Number of collectors entering the market continues to expand as the Chinese urban middle class is expected to increase from 80 million household in 2005 to 200 million household by 2015.* 3) The real (inflation adjusted) disposable income of the Chinese urban middle class is expected to increase from 0.5 trillion Yuan in 2005 to 5.9 trillion Yuan by 2015.* * See the last picture for a graphical representation of the above three demand drivers 4) The availability of panda coins is extremely limited due to low mintage produced, many coins were melted during late 1990 as gold prices sank to 20 year lows and small fractional coins (1/20, 1/10, 1/4) were incorporated into jewelry. Based on just true mintage numbers, it would take only $4 billon US dollars to buy every gold panda coin minted from 1982 to 2008 at an average cost of $1,250 per ounce. Since $4 billon is a very tiny sum of money spread out across the entire world (panda coins are collected in China, US, Germany, Canada), one is compelled to believe that $1,250 average price is bound to go higher, since the mintage is fixed.   I accept Paypal, Money Orders, Cashier Checks and Personal Check.
