Why Platinum Panda Coins are Worth So Much? One reason is the scarcity of the metal itself. The process of platinum has nearly doubled over the past year due to electrical failures in the region of South Africa that mines a large percentage of this precious metal. Another reason is the low numbers of these coins that were minted by the Chinese government. It is estimated that only 8,500 of these beautiful coins were minted between 1987 and 1990.
Another reason these coins are so highly valued is the beautiful design work that went into the picture on the front and revers of the coins. These special coins weigh one once and feature a different panda each year. On the reverse is a picture of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. They are in danger of becoming much more scarce as the value of the metal bullion comes closer to the value placed on them by collectors. This may lead some collectors to sell them for the value of the metal where they will be melted down. This will in turn cause a rise in value to coin collectors because the supply will become much smaller.
The other reason that these coins are becoming much more valuable to collectors is that because of such a limited release, the last being almost 20 years ago, that most of these coins are already owned by private collectors and not available on the market. One of the great qualities of these coins is that the metal which they are made of is much harder than gold or silver which means the coins are less susceptible to damage than other coins. This means that these coins remain closer to their original condition than those made of other metals.
With these Chinese platinum panda coins becoming more and more difficult to acquire, it is a wise investment to have if you can find one. As the supply of platinum becomes harder to come by, the value of the metal alone may be worth the price paid for these valuable works of art.

Scarce Swallowtail $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius) is a butterfly found in gardens, fields and open woodlands. It is found in places with sloe thickets and particularly orchards. It is also called Sail Swallowtail or Peartree Swallowtail. The Southern Swallowtail (Iphiclides feisthamelii), is sometimes treated as a subspecies.It is widespread throughout Europe with the exception of the northern parts. Its range extends northwards to Saxony and central Poland and eastwards across Asia Minor and Transcaucasia as far as the Arabian peninsula, India, and western China. A few specimens of the Scarce Swallowtail have been reported from central Sweden and the UK but they were probably only strays and not migrants. The scarcity of UK migrants is responsible for the English common name. In the Alps it can be found up to altitudes of 1600 m. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Scarce Goods $35 In 1841 the American sailing ship William Brown struck an iceberg. About half of the passengers and all of the crew were saved in two small, open boats. The next night, half of the passengers in the larger long-boat were thrown overboard because the boat was overfull. This was the first case of lifeboat ethics, of hard choices in the face of scarcity. Since then the question has been who should die so that others, equally needy, might live? Both the case of the William Brown and the ethics it spawned have been used in recent years to describe the problem of health care rationing generally, and organ transplantation specifically. Koch reexamines and reinterpretes the paradigm case of lifeboat ethics, the story of the William Brown, not as an unavoidable tragedy, but as an avoidable series of errors. Its relation to more general issues of distributive justice are then considered. The lessons learned from both the historical review and its application to distributive principles are then applied to the problem of graft organ distribution in the United States. Through the use of maps, the problem of organ distribution is considered at a range of scales, from the international to the urban. The contextual issues become more evident as one moves from international to hemispheric, fron national to regional, and then local systems. Finally, Koch reviews the lessons in light of other problems of distribution in the face of scarcity. The central lesson-that scarcity is exacerbated where it is not in fact created by our distributive programs-is explored thoroughly. The result is no good choices for anyone and the continuation of the scarcity that for most seems inevitable, but, from the evidence provided, is itself an outcome of inequalities of distribution at different scales of society. Of particular interest to students, scholars, and policymakers involved with issues of planning and health care economics, medical geography, and concepts of justice. |

Management of Scarce Water Resources $178 Arid and semi-arid countries have historically suffered from a plethora of complex water concerns due to its climatic limitations. Research in these regions has long supported the necessity of delivering life sustaining access and availability to water while being inherently linked to several inter-related factors, including technical and economic issues, human resources, health and private sector participation. Regional conflicts and controversial political agendas have also exercised a profound impact on the viability of co-operative water resource and management perspectives. Dr Hazim El-Naser has applied his experiences as a water expert and ministerial position in Jordan by looking at a wide variety of water related topics that explore the problems the MENA countries face in respect to water resource management. This book focuses on his experiences to highlight the complexity of these problems and advocate practical solutions, and uses recent case studies to provide a framework to assist the practitioner in resolving these problems. |

The Scarce Man by Frie, James [Hardcover] $44.6 The Scarce Man centers on Agent Mike Rawlings of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. He is Minnesotas top murder detective and is nearing retirement when hes called in to handle the most baffling and dangerous case of his career. Someone with a violent M.O. is killing certain people in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Rawlings deduces that the murders are politically motivated, but what he doesnt know is that the killer, who in the days following 9/11, has become obsessed with the idea that he alone can begin a chain of events that will launch the social revolution he believes will save the country. The killer forms an alterego, whom he calls The Patriot. What Rawlings doesnt know, is that the Patriot has inside knowledge that will make him more deadly than anyone hes ever faced; and much harder to stop.

Scarce Heard Amid the Guns (Paperback) $42.2 “In the Service of Peace” — simple words that adorn the obverse of every United Nations medal, yet behind this eloquence lurks violence and an unheralded heroism invisible to an often misunderstood quarter of Canada’s military history. The Canadian contribution to peacekeeping is enormous but ensnared in a lethal mythology that has seen it abandoned to popular folklore. From the early and intrinsic Canadian contribution to the U.N. Emergency Force in 1956, through the blur of the frenetic 1990s down to the anemic level of contemporary Canadian participation, it is difficult to make sense of the wide circumference of this significant legacy. Until now.Scarce Heard Amid the Guns provides an incisive perspective on the various Canadian missions: their omnipresent doubt and un-telegraphed terrors. This insider’s guided tour of our military at war in peace introduces us to some of the men and women who carried the day — ordinary Canadians who did extraordinary things and continue to bear the scars of forgotten fields in their bones. |
