I WAS RECENTLY SCAMMED ON EBAY, NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT WORLD COINS EXCEPT FOR CANADA, I FOUND A LISTING ON EBAY DISPLAYING A BEAUTIFUL SET OF PANDA COINS IN A DISPLAY BOX THAT STATED ALL THE COINS WERE .999 1OZ SILVER. I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE ITEM, I ASKED SEVERAL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING AND ALL THE RESPONSES WERE TO MY LIKING, WHEN I RECEIVED THE ITEM I WAS FIRST VERY EXCITED, THEY WERE GORGOUS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THEY SEEMED TO BE DIFFERENT THEN OTHER PANDA COINS, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE ONE OUT OF ITS AIRTITE HOLDER AND NOTICED THAT THE ITEM FELT WAY DIFFERENT THEN A NORMAL 1 OZ SILVER COIN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT THE COINS ARE SILVER PLATED, AND ARE WORTHLESS, NOT EVEN WORTH ANYTHING NEAR WHAT  I HAD PAID. I HAVE LEARNED THAT ALL REAL PANDA COINS HAVE THE DENOMINATION LISTED ON THE COIN, SUCH AS 10 YUAN, 20 YUAN, ETC. SINCE I HAVE LEARNED THIS I HAVE BEEN EMAILING BIDDERS THAT WERE BIDDING ON SUCH ITEMS, TRYING TO WORN THEM THAT THE COINS WERE ONLY SILVER PLATED AND ONE PERSON WAS BIDDING ON A SET OF 5 GOLD COINS AND I READ THE DESCRIPTION AND THE SELLER MADE THEM SOUND LIKE REAL GOLD COINS. WHEN I EMAILED THE PERSON I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS JUST A FRIENDLY WARNING TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE COINS WERE ONLY GOLD PLATED AND TOLD THEM NOT TO PAY FOR THE ITEM. I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL RESPONSES THANKING ME FOR WARNING THEM. ALSO, I AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL ALOUD ON EBAY, THEY ARE NOT ONLY RIPPING PEOPLE OFF BUT THEY ARE RIPPING EBAY OFF AS WELL, THEY HAVE THERE ITEMS AT AN EXTREMELY LOW PRICE SUCH AS .99 CENTS OR BUY IT NOW FOR $4.99 AND THE SHIPPING IS A LARGE AMOUNT ONLY LISTED IN THE DESCRIPTION. SO THEY GET AWAY WITH PAYING REAL LOW LISTING FEES AND FINAL VALUE FEES. IF YOU SEE THAT THE ITEM IS FROM CHINA BE VERY CAUTIOUS BEFORE BIDDING, I RECOMMEND NOT BIDDING FROM THEM AT ALL. 

UPDATE:ON A COIN THAT DISPLAYS THE 10Y AND  IF THE RIM AROUND THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN IS NOT FROSTED I SUGGEST NOT BIDDING, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THEY ARE ALSO FAKE, I WILL BE PURCHASING SOME AND MELTING THEM DOWN TO SEE FOR SURE. ALSO, THERE WAS A PERSON SELLING A PANDA COIN THAT WAS CERTIFIED BY NGC AND HE ONLY HAD A PICTURE OF THE FRONT OF THE COIN, I EMAILED HIM AND ASKED HIM TO PLEASE ADD A PICTURE OF THE BACK OF THE COIN, HE RESPONDED "NO", HE DIDN'T GIVE AN EXPLANATION WHY OR ANYTHING. I SUGGEST STAYING AWAY FROM ANYONE NOT SHOWING BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN AND ESPECIALLY THE ONES REFUSING TO, THIS COIN IS STILL ON EBAY WHEN I AM WRITING THIS, WITH 22 HOURS TO GO, AS OF 3:39PM ON MAY 30.   WRITE: "CERTIFIED PANDA" IN THE SEARCH BOX AND ITS THE ONLY ONE THAT COMES UP.  KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE U.S. THAT ARE SELLING PANDA COINS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE IS FAKE. THIS IS A NEW DISCOVERY. BUT PEOPLE THAT HIDE THINGS KNOW AND YOU CAN TELL.  BE VERY CAUTOUS AS TO WHAT YOU BUY, BECAUSE WHEN THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, ALL THE FAKE COINS WILL BE DISCOVERED AND IF YOU HAVE ANY THEY WILL BE WORTHLESS.  WHAT EVER YOU BID ON, MAKE SURE THE SELLER IS SHOWING BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN AND MAKE SURE IT HAS THE 10Y ON THE OBVERSE AND THE FROSTED RIM ON THE REVERSE.  SO FAR THESE ARE THE REAL TYPE I HAVE FOUND
