China (People's Republic), gold 1 oz proof official Panda issue, 1988, New Orleans International Investors Conference, NGC PF 68 Ultra Cameo. KM-XMB31; PAN-85A. Similar to lot 517 above, this piece was misattributed by both KM and NGC as being issued for the ANA show that year (the actual ANA show was in Cincinnati--see next lot). Only six are finer (at MS 69) in the current NGC census. Mintage: 1,500 (planned; actual and surviving unknown). Curiously, the steamboat pictured on this piece clearly shows the name ROBT E LEE, probably the only time that name was ever connected with Chinese coins! Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
