Watch List notes:

China (People's Republic), gold 50 yuan (1/10 oz) Panda, 2002, frosted bamboo (Shenzen Guobao mint), NGC MS 69. KM-1457; PAN-352B. All the MS gold of 2002 are scarce, and 2002 is a key year in general (in fact the only year to repeat the design from the previous year, albeit with a new edge-reeding that is diagonal instead of vertical). The "mirrored bamboo" versions, referring to branch tips at the rim, are accompanied by a lower neckline on the panda and indicate Shanghai mint; the "frosted bamboo" versions come from the Shenzen mint. Mintage for both mints: 150,000 planned; 36,092 actual; estimated extant (both varieties)
