Is pandaamerica.com Safe?

Panda America is a major precious metals bullion coin dealer in the United States. Initially specialising in Chinese Gold and Silver Panda coins, they now stock a large range of coins from around the world. Their premiums (over intrinsic value) are somewhat on the high side however, by American standards at least, and they sell a lot of high-margin stuff. So you have to look hard for a good bargin (i.e. any coins on sale for a figure bearing a credible relationship to their metal value). Thus, for an American bullion/coin investor, I would recommend Gainesville Coins (www.gainesvillecoins.com) in preference, they sell coins with much lower premiums.
