Large and Small Date varieties of the 2010 silver Pandas have turned up. Photos are posted at See Rules. It's not clear yet if one or the other is particularly scarce- I'd be interested to learn what other people find. These are the first Panda date varieties since 1999- many older varieties have greatly increased in value. For instance, in April a rare 1/10 oz. B.U. gold Panda variety from the 1990's brought $1,036 on ebay and in May a 1/2 oz. B.U. gold Panda variety coin sold for $2,700. There are also several 1 oz. silver varieties that commonly bring $150-$300. This is a fun part of Panda coin collecting that most collectors don't know about yet. I hope you find the information useful. Best wishes, Peter A.
Yes, I agree that looking at the distance to the rim is a good way to distinguish between the varieties. The capsule can get in the way of this though, so I also look at the luster. The Large Date has a shimmer to its surface that the Small Date doesn't.
