Watch List notes:

China (People's Republic), gold 1 oz proof official Panda issue, 1988, Basel International Coin Week, NGC PF 68 Ultra Cameo. KMX-MB20; PAN-89A. For this low-mintage issue NGC changed from OFFICIAL PANDA ISSUE to OFFICIAL SHOW ISSUE for the label and census and placed it under their MEDALS category, unlike the other show issues for this year (the previous four lots, for example) and--crucially--the "Pt" error in the next lot. Mintage: 400 (estimated). Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.

Estimate: $1800 - $2600
