If you collect Chinese Silver Pandas, you know that 2015 and 2016 are landmark dates in the series. In late 2015, the China Mint surprised the bullion marketplace with a breakthrough announcement. For the first time ever, all Panda coins would be changed to new metric sizes! Even though the metric system has existed for centuries, most sovereign bullion coins are measured in troy ounces. Most of the world’s leading silver coins (like the Eagle, Maple, etc) weigh one troy ounce. Therefore, the new 30 gram Chinese Silver Panda became unique in the bullion landscape. It remains the only mass-produced bullion coin measured in grams!
Of course, the introduction of this new 30 gram coin also meant the end of the 1 oz Silver Panda series. The 2015 edition became the very last 1 oz Silver Panda released by the China Mint. As such, it developed numismatic significance and has become an important collector’s item. Just as first-year-of-issue coins are immensely popular, so too are last-year-of-issue pieces.
Last week, we acquired an unusual hoard of Silver Pandas originally acquired during this transition period. All of the coins in the group were fresh 2015 1 oz and 2016 30 gram Silver Pandas, all in their original mint capsules. We picked up the lot at an outstanding premium and are passing along the savings to you!
Today, we can offer you both 2015 1 oz Silver Pandas and 2016 30 gram Silver Pandas at just $4.99 per coin over melt! Not only is this well below posted online prices, but this is below original mint cost. When these coins first hit the market, wholesale dealers had to pay well above these premiums when the coins were new. In essence, your cost today is the lowest premium we’ve ever seen for these transitional Silver Pandas.
2015 1 oz Silver Panda
2016 30 gram Silver Panda
This offer allows you to assemble a unique transitional set of 1 oz and 30 gram Silver Pandas. We love opportunities to collect and invest at the same time—and this is a prime example! Not only do these coins offer a great way to own high-quality silver, but the 2015 and 2016 coins make a great pair as a two-coin transitional set. Plus, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention how Silver Pandas tend to appreciate in premium over time. Many issues from the early 2000s now sell for 5x to 10x their melt value! As these coins become harder to find, they may gain significantly in collector value.
Take advantage of this unusual chance to own both 2015 and 2016 Silver Pandas at all-time low premiums. You have the chance to grab both the last year of the 1 oz size, plus the first year of the 30 gram size—and pay less than original mint cost! Please keep in mind that this deal is only made possible thanks to our lucky find. If we hadn’t uncovered this hoard of 2015/2016 Pandas, we couldn’t offer these coins at any rate (let alone below mint cost). Don’t let this opportunity slip away; be sure to reserve your transition-year Silver Pandas while our supplies remain!
