China (People's Republic), gold 1/10 oz Panda, 1982, long leaf, NGC MS 69. KM-XMB8; PAN-5B. Desirable first year of issue. Peter Anthony: "To this day the 1/10 oz. coin retains a significant premium, especially in MS-69." Mintage: 77,598 (but <23,000 extant). The "long leaf" variety on this coin is noted by NGC, in whose census about 16% of the entries are differentiated by variety, none of those graded MS 70. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
