Watch List notes:

China (People's Republic), gold 50 yuan (1/2 oz) Panda, 1998, large date (Shenyang mint), NGC MS 69 ("top pop"). KM-1129; PAN-304B. Lowest reported mintage of any year of 50 yuan gold Pandas, with very low survival estimate for this variety. Anthony: "1998 has become perhaps the most sought-after year for gold Pandas. All the coins from this year are key coins and the 50 Yuan is considered the rarest of all." Actual mintage just 4,168 across both mints; estimated extant population for this variety
