How we price it
How we price your Chinese Gold Pandas
The Panda is .999 fine gold, and unlike most bullion its artwork is redrawn every single year — a habit that has built a genuine collector base for certain dates. Newer coins are measured in grams (a 30-gram flagship and smaller pieces), while older Pandas came in ounce sizes; whichever you hold, the starting point is the gold it contains at the live price.
Our buyer confirms the coin, weighs it, and prices its gold to the current market. A common sealed Panda sold as bullion is paid 90% of the going spot price, but a first-year, key-date, or graded Panda can attract a premium among collectors, and we include it when the demand is truly there. Payment reaches you the same visit, with nothing to post or wait on.
What to bring and what to expect
Pandas are usually sold sealed in their original mint plastic, and it is best to leave them that way — the seal helps confirm the coin and protects the finish. Bring any assay cards or graded holders too. Valid photo identification is required from everyone selling here.
Chantilly, Annandale, and Manassas take walk-ins during store hours. Vienna / Tysons is currently by appointment, so call (703) 889-0532 before you go. Expect a free, unhurried appraisal set out clearly, then choose as you wish: say yes and a check is handed over there and then, or say no and keep your coins with no charge.

FAQ
Chinese Gold Pandas: common questions
Why can some Gold Pandas be worth more than their gold?
Because the design changes yearly, particular dates and low-mintage or graded Pandas develop a collector following that can push them above melt. Every coin's offer still starts from its .999 gold content, with any real premium added on top.
Should I break the sealed plastic on my Panda?
No — keep it sealed. The original mint packaging helps verify the coin and preserves its surface, both of which can support the value. We can appraise it fully without opening it.
Do you buy gram-sized and older ounce Pandas?
Yes, both. Modern gram coins (30 g and smaller) and the earlier 1 oz and fractional-ounce Pandas are all bought, each paid on the gold it actually weighs at 90% of spot, plus any collector premium.
Are older Pandas better to sell than new ones?
Not automatically — most trade on gold content regardless of age. A handful of early or scarce dates carry extra collector value, which our buyer identifies and prices in when it genuinely applies.
