They take PayPal no?

You could always sign up for CurrencyFair and pay them directly with USD?

[waybri]

they wont take paypal from non us paypal account and i cant find anywhere on the site that says they will ship to the uk

 

i need someone to purchace on my behalf if possible ,money is waiting or bullion if prefered

 

not sure they will be around that long as not many availible.

Ah I see, I didn't realise they don't ship to the UK. Probably best to check that first though by calling them, most of these companies are very helpful.

If they don't, then as you say you will need a friendly American to help you out.

If they are prepared to ship to the UK but only want to be paid in USD, then use CurrencyFair.

Never heard of that grading company before, are they new?

I have heard of ICG before, they are quite big but don't command the premiums of PCGS or NGC.

Wayne,

If you are looking for an 2014 MS70 Panda I would suggest getting an NGC or PCGS one. I'll PM you someone that will ship from the US (significantly cheaper than the one in your link).

[Danny-boy]

There are MS70 pandas for sale by Fantomen in the for sale section starting at £50 delivered.

thanks for the info guys

 

its just i wanted one of these as they are first day of panda pressings .

 

i have 60 odd 2014 pandas at home i just wanted the first day pressing if i could

[doogs]

I'm not even sure how the grading co. could determine a first day pressing without a specific guarantee from the Chinese mint (of which there are three).

[Danny-boy]

I'll be honest, and I might be wrong, but this sounds like another "early release" scam to me.

First day might be the first day of grading, but I sincerely doubt the coins will actually be the first day of minting in china.

Like I said, I may be wrong, but I'm highly sceptical.

[doogs]

I'm very skeptical too!

Another potential solution is to use a  retail freight forwarder based in the USA to whom you can ask the seller to send the coin too, and for the freight forwarder to send this on to you

 

I travel to the US a couple of times a year so normally pick up any US orders from our company offices in the US. But for rush orders I have used www.myus.com to forward orders and in turn for them to send on to my works address and/or my home address.

 

Myus.com are based in Florida and are increasingly using DHL for deliveries. They know which was is up, and as such they do not go out of their way to state the airway bill/customs declarations; and touch wood the last few deliveries have had no tax applied

 

The down side is that the cost for a single coins is going to be prohibitive. As stated earlier, a bank transfer from one or other ForEx companies will see you over the issue of PayPal

Yes I looked and it does appear to say KG, but zoom in and you will see ICG.

 

I do have one or two of their slabbed coins.

 

Nice coin!!!!
