Watch List notes:

China (People's Republic), gold 5 yuan (1/20 oz) Panda, 1995, small date (Shenyang mint), NGC MS 70 ("top pop"). KM-715; PAN-239B. One of only 31 pieces at MS 70 in the current NGC census. Anthony: "1995 was an interesting year for Pandas. Although announced mintages were reasonable it soon became clear that Pandas from this year were difficult to come by. This was a time period when many other series of Chinese coins took over the spotlight and collectors, or even hoarders, for this coin were few. So it's no surprise that the 1995 5 Yuan remains a hard-to-find coin today. It is one of the key coins in the 1/20 oz. gold Panda series." Actual mintage for both mints: 97,910; estimated extant population for this variety
