Watch List notes:

China (People's Republic), gold 1 oz proof official Panda issue, 1988, 97th ANA Convention Cincinnati, NGC PF 68 Ultra Cameo. KM-XMB29; PAN-87A. The central motif on the non-panda side of this beautiful piece is the ANA's Lamp of Knowledge. Anthony: "The Cincinnati medal may well be the rarest gold Panda medal" due to the fact that by show time in August many dealers had already bought all the Pandas they wanted for the year and canceled their orders; of the 300 or so pieces delivered to the show, only 100 sold. Mintage: 1,000 planned but actual ~300. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.

Estimate: $1600 - $2400
