Help me with 1999 Silver Panda

8 posts in this topic

Good morning,
I'm new and I'm writing from Italy. Unfortunately NGC is not available in Italy.
2 questions:
- Who can help me with these similar (but not identical) panda 1999?
- What does "SERIF 1" and "PLAIN 1" mean? I can not translate it in Italian ...


Thanks in advance

The one on the right is a serif variety, The image of the one on the left isn't clear enough for me to tell.  When they are talking about the serif they mean the fet at the bottom of the 1 in the date.  The serif has feet, on the non serif or plain 1 the 1 comes straight down as a stick and has no feet.

I see the differences you have circled, but don't follow this series all that closely.   Overall, I'm not sure this is the best forum to be asking about these--not that it hurts to ask, but going by the short list of answers I suspect there aren't too many folks posting here that do follow these closely. 

You might try googling 'China Mint Panda' and that should get you pretty close to a Chinese specific forum--much more likely to find people who can give some more answers.
