China (People's Republic), gold 10 yuan (1/10 oz) Panda, 1998, large date (Shenyang mint), NGC MS 66. KM-1127; PAN-306B. The entire 1998 series is rare, and the mintage for this denomination was particularly low. Anthony: "1998 has become perhaps the most sought-after year for gold Pandas. All the coins from this year are key coins in their sets." Actual mintage for both mints: 8,502; estimated extant population for this variety
