I bought the first lot Message 23066709 of Eagles and Maples on Friday, noon Hong Kong local time, and paid HKD 5,035 (USD 647) and 5,175 (USD 665) (say USD 1.00 = HKD 7.78), and ... the second lot Message 23067725 of Maples and Pandas on Monday 11:00-ish morning HK time, and paid HKD 5,030 (USD 646) and HKD 5,208 (USD 669) respectively. US Eagles are not favored due to base metal fill (even though the oz of gold is real). Pandas are favored due to ... well, there are Internet-ask Panda coins of 1982 mintage ask USD 3,750 / oz 1984 @ USD 1,264 1987 @ USD 750 1989 @ USD 798 1990 @ USD 860 1992 @ USD 896 1994 @ USD 1,064 1995 @ USD 1,266 2000 @ USD 766 2003 @ USD 805 2005 @ USD 759 ... Pure goodness plus collector's pandaamerica.com value attribution pandaamerica.com equals win-win :0) On E-bay and elsewhere Internet, higher prices for above can be found. I mostly buy Pandas, have all the years, including the platinum and palladium ones issues in certain years, plus the ones with errors, all at spot plus USD 10-20, and by hindsight, a good idea :0) I buy gold so that I cannot 'trade' some portion of savings. Putting goodness into hibernation, to wait for kingdom come. I buy Eagles and Maples and Koalas when Pandas are out of stock. I buy paper gold to trade, to lower cost basis of physical hoard. I sell Put options to earn mad money, to pay for holidays and buy food :0) I am not a gold bug.
