One of the hottest items available to purchase at the American Numismatic Association’s (ANA) World’s Fair of Money Show held from August 6–10 this year near Chicago were specially-struck Panda commemoratives. These Pandas are among the rarest, most coveted, and hard-to-get offerings of ANY Panda-themed numismatic collectibles. Their low mintages are exceptionally small, plus the design is directly tied to the host city. Thanks to our connections in the coin world, we’ve been able to forge an exclusive partnership with ANA to display and sell the silver, gold, and platinum 2024 ANA Show Panadas. Each of these commemoratives were made available at our display tables during the show. Fortunately, we held back a portion of these pieces and are making them available now on a first-come, first-served basis!
These stunning proofs display an obverse that mimics the look of the China Mint’s 1991 Panda—the first year that the ANA’s World’s Fair of Money was held in Chicago after the China Panda series began. It depicts a solitary panda feasting on a bamboo snack. The adorable bear is shown sitting on a luxuriant stretch of grass, his feet making ripples in a pond. The ANA’s official seal is nestled to the left of the panda. The reverse of each proof shows the famous Chicago Theater along with reference to the 2024 ANA World’s Fair of Money in English and Mandarin. The word “CHICAGO” has also been colorized in red to make it stand out as if it were illuminated to attract visitors passing by the grand movie palace located on North State Street in Chicago. This year’s Show Panda Proof also features spectacular incuse designs where the elements are sunk below the surface of the proof rather than rising above it like normal issues. This is the FIRST TIME that incuse strike elements have been incorporated on both sides of ANY ANA Show Panda Proof!
In this offer you can secure the gleaming 2024 ANA Show Silver Panda Proof that was struck in an ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. It’s a stunning release that was expertly crafted by the China Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. And when we said exceptionally small, limited mintages, we weren’t blowing smoke because only 888 one-ounce silver proofs were authorized.
The China Panda Series has been a runaway hit with collectors ever since it first hit the coin world in 1982. Today, more than 40 years later, the series shows no signs of slowing down. It’s no exaggeration to say that millions of collectors around the world wait in eager anticipation each year for the new one-year-only designs to make their debut. But for real Panda collectors, SERIOUS panda collectors, the cream of the crop are the panda commemoratives specially struck and released at various coin shows. And hands down, the most coveted of these “Show Pandas” are those that are unveiled at the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money. Don’t miss out because when these are gone, it’s unlikely you’ll ever get a second chance at getting them!
- EXCLUSIVE ANA PANDAS – These Panda Proofs were released exclusively at the ANA’s 2024 World’s Fair of Money Show that was held August 6–10 near Chicago. Due to our partnership with the ANA, we had the rights to the entire mintage and held these pieces in reserve. They were previously available only at the ANA World’s Fair of Money show and nowhere else.
