Panda Gold Coin - Proof. MS-67 Grade
The 1999 10 Yuan 1/10 oz. gold Panda Plain 1 is an important and scarce coin. 1999 gold Panda coins were caught in the wake of the Asian financial crisis. Demand for gold Pandas plummeted and many were melted. As a consequence mintages that year were limited and relatively few are available for collectors today.
1999 is a notable year for another reason; it is the only year in which all Pandas were struck in three different mints. There are three major varieties of the 1999 gold Pandas: Small Date, Large Date Plain 1 and Large Date Serif 1. The 1999 10 Yuan gold Large Date Plain 1 is a Shenyang Mint coin. It is not hard to tell apart from the others; the numerals of both of the Large Dates are much larger than those of the Small Date. The Large Date Plain 1 also has a long angled serif on the top of the numeral 1 of the date. The total mintage for all 1999 10 Yuan varieties is 25,501. It’s clear that far fewer than that exist in B.U. condition today. The Large Date Plain 1 variety is the most relatively common of the three varieties, but is still a scarce coin.
About three in four of the 1999 10 Yuan Large Date Plain 1 Pandas graded achieve the MS-69 level. Red spots are a commonplace problem on unconserved 1999 gold Pandas. The head, body and rock are the places most likely to show wear or rub.
This 1/10th Ounce of .9999 Pure Gold is a beautiful coin and would make an excellent gift for a collector or to celebrate something special. The year, composition, and location of mint make this coin a unique and rare find.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
