Liberated Some Pandas

At a local shop this week found six pandas in the silver round box. Kept them from being melted. Cost less than $17 each. I have a question about the 1991. Krause shows two different varities for the 1991 Is this the better one?

    Not sure what you mean by the better one.

    The one that you have pictured is the large date

    It has the same mintage (50k) as the small date and brings about the same price
    on ebay ,up to $85 raw.

    The 2010 Krause shows two different Unc 1991 Pandas. 386.1, $85 and 386.3, $40. That's why I thought that there was a variety better than the other. I guess things have changed, since both are selling for the same now. Thanks for the info

    Just curious...
    Does the Krause catalog explain which one is the Large vs. the small date?

    Regardless, you did good to get ANY Silver Panda at close to melt.

    The 1991 you have is the Large Date Variety.

    1991 LARGE DATE - Notice the serif on the 1 in 1991

    1991 SMALL DATE - Notice the lack of the serif on the 1 in 1991.
