China (People's Republic), gold 50 yuan (1/2 oz) Panda, 1994, small date (Shenyang mint), NGC MS 69. KM-614; PAN-212B. Only three higher at MS 70 in the current NGC census for this variety. Anthony: "Despite a decent reported mintage this is a truly scarce coin today. One attrition factor was that the mid-nineties was a period when many other series of Chinese coins were in the spotlight. Collectors, or even hoarders, for ½ oz. gold Pandas were few and far between. Not to mention that the ½ oz size has almost always been the least popular size of gold Pandas and many of these coins may have been melted." Actual mintage for both mints: 16,788; estimated extant population for this variety <1,000. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
