This 5 oz Silver Panda is one of the Panda coins issued by People's Bank of China and minted by Shanghai Mint. While it has the highest mintage that 5 oz Silver Panda coins ever had at 30,000, it is still lower than the 50,000 regular 5 oz Silver Panda that is issued for 2012. </div>

The Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for 2012 Panda coins has been given a new design. Instead of a single slip of water-marked paper, it is now a cover with a hole specially designed to show the picture of the Temple of Heaven. Such a design will definitely increase the cost of production for counterfeit crooks.</div>

The 2012 Singapore International Coin Fair (SICF) Panda Medals are issued by China Great Wall Coins Investments Limited, minted by Shenzhen Guobao Mint and exclusively distributed by Panda America who is also the main organizer of the SICF.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being the first Panda Medal since 1997 Munich International Coin Fair, the SICF Panda Medal offers 4 denominations of 99.9% fineness proof quality coins for collectors to choose from.</div>
<br />
<u>Gold</u><br />
1/2 oz / 27 mm Diameter / Mintage: 2,500 / Issue Price: US$1,995<br />
5 oz / 60 mm Diameter / Mintage: 99 / Issue Price: Unknown<br />
<br />
<u>Silver</u><br />
1 oz / 40 mm Diameter / Mintage: 10,000 / Issue Price: US$175<br />
5 oz / 70 mm Diameter / Mintage: 2,500 / Issue Price: US$495<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sale of the Panda Medals began as early as late February 2012 and delivery of the Medals was expected to be during the SICF for collectors who pre-ordered them. Based on QC stickers seen on the plastic vinyl sheet that sealed the 5 oz Silver Panda Medal, earliest QC was done on 28 February 2012. Unfortunately, the die broke around the 225th Medal, as announced by Panda America President, Mr. Peter Yeung. A second die had to be used to continue the production and hence resulted in another variety of the 5 oz Medal. </div>

Varieties of the Medals created mixed emotions among collectors. Or perhaps the negative comments came from people who did not purchase the Medal. As one who has vested interest in the Medal, I was excited to find out whether I got the rarer 1st Die Variety. A fellow collector has taken some pictures to share the differences on each variety.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Differences can be seen on the ears, nose and also the eyes. Collectors or buyers should not take the COA number as reference to whether it is 1st or 2nd Die Variety. Neither should they be taking reference from the QC date. They should look at the panda on the right of the Medal to judge for themselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 1st Die Variety would definitely fetch a higher selling given that it is less than 10% of the population. However, that would depend on the performance of the SICF Medals themselves. Being the inaugural SICF Medal, the 2012 version would depend on whether there would be more of such medals to be issued during the next SICF. I would sure like to see the SICF Medals run for 10 consecutive years (1988 - 1997) like the Munich International Coin Expo Medals.</div>

I've identified 3 key years of the Silver Panda for analysis. 1995 Small Twig Micro, 1999 Serif, 2000 Frosty and 2000 Mirror. New collectors or collectors looking for good deals without overpaying would compare how much premium they are paying for a double-sealed coin over a coin in capsule, a graded MS69 over a coin in capsule, a graded MS69 over a double-sealed etc. There are some collectors who would also place a percentage premium based on whether it is MS69, 68 or 67.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With price data from US ebay transacted prices collected from Dec 2010 to Nov 2011, I could present some figures indicated how these coins could compare and how much premium has been paid. The most readily available data is actually that of the 2000 Frosty as it is the most heavily transacted amongst the key dates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>2000 Frosty</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The average price transacted for a 2000 Frosty in capsule range between US$175 to US$340 while a double-sealed was between US$202 to US$391. Percentage premium of double-sealed over capsule is between 15.5% to 39.5%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS69 / Capsule: 53 - 118%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS68 / Capsule: 21 - 64%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS67 / Capsule: -18 - 36%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS66 / Capsule: -12 - 17%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS69 / DS*: 10 - 66%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS68 / DS*: -13 - 19%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
% premium of MS67 / DS*: -41 - 5%</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">2000 Mirror</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For 2000 Mirror, there are only 2 sets of data to look at for same month of transaction. That is to say, only in the month of May and October, we have data to compare for premium of NGC MS69 & MS68 over double-sealed coins.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, a graded coin has different percentage premium for different year due to it's mintage, NGC graded population for that grade and even silver spot price. The relation is not as linear as MS69 indicates 100%, MS68 - 50% and so on. For example, the 1992 Large Date would have much more graded MS69 and above compared to the 1992 Small Date due to its eye appeal and hence collectors are willing to pay 30 - 40% more for the Small Date MS69. A 2011 MS70 Early Release could fetch a 100% premium over capsuled one while the MS69 would be priced nearly the same as the capsuled.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Silver spot price could affect the premium in the sense that when silver spot is high, collectors would settle for something lower grade like MS67 or capsule coin.</div>

The Panda coins will be produced by Shen Zhen Guo Bao, Shen Yang and Shanghai Mint. It would be interesting to see how many varieties are there for this issue.<br />
<br />
There weren't any varieties discovered but NGC came out with a variety of labels -<br />
The Early Release Blue Label, First Release Panda Label, Early Release Panda Label, Early Release Country Label and Early Release Great Wall Label (not in picture). Given the mintage of 8 million, top graded coins would be the way to go for Chinese Silver Panda coins now. Number of MS70 graded by NGC stands at 17,310 (26 Oct 2013)<br />
