Watch List notes:

China (People's Republic), gold 100 yuan (1 oz) Panda, 1998, large date (Shenyang mint), NGC MS 69. KM-1130; PAN-303B. Only one higher at MS 70 in the current NGC census. Anthony: "The 1998 100 Yuan 1 oz. gold Large Date Panda is one of the top dates in the Panda series. 1998 has become perhaps the most sought-after year for gold Pandas. All the coins from this year are key coins... many from this year were melted and the remaining coins are few." Mintage for both mints: 125,000 planned; 20,507 actual; estimated extant population for this variety
