Product Details
The MintDirect® Premier designation applies to coins received in the first 30 days of release from the mint. APMEX individually seals each MintDirect® Premier coin to ensure the authenticity after being removed directly from the mint capsules.

Each 2017 30 gram Silver Panda is placed in a non-reactive plastic polymer authentication card to protect your coin’s finish.

Only coins received in the first 30 days of release from the China Mint are eligible for the MintDirect® Premier designation. This provides assurance that these 30 gram Silver Pandas are among the best struck releases of the year.

Coin Highlights:
  • Contains 30 grams of .999 fine silver.
  • Packaged in RF-welded plastic polymer case (2 1/2" x 3 1/4"), protecting the coin's finish, with included authentication card.
  • This process requires the coins to be removed from their original mint capsules.
  • Obverse: Depicts the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing encircled by "People's Republic of China" in Chinese completed with the year of issue, 2017.
  • Reverse: Features a single panda resting on a tree branch.
  • Guaranteed by the People's Bank of China.

The Silver Pandas were first minted in 1983. The first 3 years of mintage were in proof quality condition, and had a limited mintage of 10,000 pieces for each year. No Silver Pandas were struck in 1986, but they have been minted every year since then. Each year, the design of the panda changes making them highly collectible. The only year they did not change design was 2002, which used the same design as 2001.

The People’s Republic of China issues and guarantees the quality of each Silver Panda coin. Silver Panda coins are minted from several mints each year. Those mints include but are not limited to Shenzhen, Shanghai and Shenyang. Unlike the U.S. Mint, these Chinese Mints do not incorporate mint marks to distinguish the difference between each mint. Instead, these mints are known for having minor differences in the design of the coin such as font size, bamboo length and designs of the temple in certain year’s mintages. With the annual change in design, and unique mint variations, the price of Silver Pandas has appreciated over time making them highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.

At the end of every year, the Chinese Mint issues coins that carry the date of the upcoming new year. Accordingly, the dies used to strike the coins from the prior year are destroyed and new dies are engraved, prepared and deployed to strike the coins for the new year.

The coin dies wear down over thousands of strikes, causing the details of the engraved die that transfers to the newly struck coin to flatten, diminishing the quality of the finished coin below standards. At this point, the dies are replaced. For each minting press, new dies may be required multiple times each year.

Once the new dies are installed, the strike quality (the detail transferred to the newly struck coin) returns to its maximum. There is no public notice that dies are changed, and each minting press changes dies at different times required by die wear.

Because each new year brings new dies, APMEX has designated all products delivered by the mint during the first 30 days of their issuance that go through the MintDirect® process as MintDirect® Premier.

The sealing process seals the coin within the authentication card, creating a tamper-evident package that will guarantee your investment indefinitely. If the tamper-evident package has been opened in any way, you will know it. After the process is completed, the coin in the tamper-evident package is removed from the machine and checked to ensure that the quality of the packaging meets our exacting standards. You now have a finished 2017 30 gram Silver Panda MintDirect® Premier Single.

By using this process, APMEX can guarantee that the coins you receive are authentic and in the exact condition as they were when they left the mint. The MintDirect® process gives investors confidence in their purchase, knowing that they can buy, hold or sell an authentic coin — guaranteed.

Note: The MintDirect® process does not guarantee protection from spotting or tarnishing that normally occurs in chemically active metals, such as Gold, Silver and Platinum.

I will be buying the pandas every year

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

I am new to collecting silver in any form. My Apmex rep suggested a few coins with lower mintage and the Panda was one of them. I am grateful for that advice. I am buying coins to give as gifts and couldn't be happier with this purchase.

I really like these affordable silver pandas. Buy them every year because each year has a different panda design. I like this one more than the 2016 side view.
