1987 1 oz Gold China Panda BU (Sealed): product overview
The Gold Panda collecting tradition
The Gold Panda series began in 1982. Its panda imagery became an annual collecting theme, with the Temple of Heaven providing a recurring counterpoint. A major format change came in 2016, when standard issues moved from troy-ounce fractions to gram weights. The weight named in this listing identifies which format is being offered.
What distinguishes this offering

Frequently asked questions
Can I substitute a gram-weight Panda for an ounce-based issue?
Not if you need the same gold amount or format. For example, 30 grams is not one troy ounce, and 8 grams is not exactly one-quarter troy ounce. Compare the actual weight.
Why retain the sealed presentation?
The sealed format is part of this offer. Keeping it intact preserves that distinction for a later comparison or sale. Do not assume the seal guarantees a numerical grade or future premium.
Is a gram-weight Panda the same size as an ounce-weight Panda?
No. One troy ounce is approximately 31.1035 grams, so a 30-gram coin is not a full troy ounce. Compare the actual weight named in this listing rather than substituting a different Panda format.
Does BU mean a guaranteed MS70 coin?
No. Brilliant Uncirculated is a condition description, not a promise of MS70 certification. Surface marks and other differences can exist among uncirculated examples.
