Afternoon everyone….

Obviously from the we title you know that I’m going to show off a gold panda coin. But I’d like to explain.

When I first got back into stacking these were the coins that caught my eye. Well I had amassed a beautiful collection of graded MS70 one ounce silver pandas. I had the entire series which began in 1983.

They weren’t as popular as they are currently, but they were very hard to find in MS70 grade. A few of them I paid as much a some semi key date Morgan’s.

Well roughly four years ago or maybe five. I was adding the newly released panda MS70 to my collection. While I was there I looked at each coin.

That’s when I lost it….

Nearly every coin had developed mint spots on them. This is now a commonly known fact. Silver panda coins are notorious for getting milk spots.

Well that was it for me. I lost so much money on them because of the milk spots. I sold every single one of them.

I no longer buy any silver pandas. But I do have a few gold pandas still.

Here is one for you today…..
