How we price it
How we price your Chinese Silver Pandas
Among world silver coins the Panda stands apart for one habit: a brand-new design every year. That yearly change, together with .999 fineness, has turned particular issues into favourites among collectors. Modern coins weigh 30 grams while earlier ones were struck as a full ounce, and whatever you hold, the figure begins with the silver it carries at the moment's spot rate.
A brief authentication and a turn on the scale are all it takes, and then the metal is matched to the live rate so the number is plain to see. Treated as standard bullion, a run-of-the-mill sealed Panda typically realises 85–90% of spot; a debut year, an elusive date, or a slabbed example can draw collector interest, folded in whenever it is genuine. Whatever you settle on changes hands the day you visit.
What to bring and what to expect
Most Pandas arrive in factory plastic, and leaving them sealed is the smart move: it both verifies the coin and shields the mirror finish from marks. Any mint sheets or certified holders are worth carrying in alongside. Photo ID is checked for every sale we make.
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, relaxed look we walk through together, and the verdict is entirely yours: agree and you're paid by check on the spot, or decline and your Pandas simply go back with you, no charge.

FAQ
Chinese Silver Pandas: common questions
Why can a Silver Panda beat its silver value?
Since the artwork changes annually, specific years and low-mintage or slabbed coins gather a following that lifts them beyond metal. We always pay for the silver first and layer any authentic collector premium above it.
Is it a mistake to break the mint seal on a Panda?
It usually is — keep it intact. Factory packaging both authenticates the coin and preserves the delicate surface, and either can help the price. A full appraisal is possible without ever opening it.
Which Panda sizes do you take?
Both the current 30-gram strikes and the older one-ounce coins, whatever the date. We settle each on the precise silver it weighs against the live rate, adding any premium a collectible year deserves.
Does an older Panda always beat a newer one?
Not as a rule — the silver leads for most coins whatever their age. A small group of early or scarce dates hold extra value that our buyer spots and works into the figure where it genuinely stands.
