In 1983 the People's Republic of China, one of my
least favorite places in the world, began distributing the Silver
and Gold Panda Bullion series in multiple sizes and denominations
from a kilogram to half a troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver and gold. It
makes a bewildering number of coins, and I focus on the 10 Yaun 1
Ounce silver rounds with 31.1 grams of silver total weight.
Generally, these coins are issued bulk or in Proof. Total mintages
aren't well known but the proofs have been minted from about 20,000
to 80,000 one ounce silvers. Several years were skipped including 1986
and 1988. The distribution channel for the Chinese Government is China
Gold Coin . Corperation The coins are great and I'd own more if I didn't
dislike the Chinese Government so much. Frankly, I;m not certain how much
difference there is between the proofs and the BU's. And in 2006 there
was a a flood of counterfiets released on to the Market. They are nice
and fun to collect. So far we have only one which I believe is a proof.

bewilder a Jefferson Nickel collector.
It is hard to believe but the new Panda actually improve on the old onesi

Avoid Gijs Henzen, owner of Munthandel G. Henzen - Antisemetic Facists
Munthandel G. Henzen's (MA Shops) owner Gijs Henzen, is an AntiSemetic Fascist
The company, Munthandel G Henzen is a prominent dealer of international and ancient coins on the internet, commonly known as MA Coins. It is owned by
Gijs Henzen. You can not trust him, as I leaned previously in dealing with
him with several coins that came with damage including a silver 1969 FOA
Uruguay coin which arrived with green verdis on the coin.
But more importantly he is a passionate anti-Semite who supports Hamas and
the virulent and genocidal Islamic organizations such as the Muslim
Brotherhood, and Hezbollah that wants Jews dead.
It is a moral imperative to remain clear of him and to do no business with this Nazi. If you are Jewish, double down on that. The life you save might well be your own.

Several mints from around the world make exciting coin designs in circulating alloys, silver and gold. Among my favorites are the Perth Mint in Austrailia which produces a variety of coins for nations mostly through out the Pacific Rim. The Neatherlands has also produced some interesting designs, and several private US based mints have produced foreign currency on contract, include the Franklin Mint which has produced many Israeli Coins.
Our interest in foreign coins has been nominal but rapidly growing as it seems that US designs are so stuck in the mud. Also, foreign mints are creating bold new designs with color and bimetal designs that are both eye catching and fun.
