labeling error. The standard 2002 1 oz Silver Panda

I recently purchased an ANACS-graded coin from my LCD with the following details:

• Certification number: [4764782]
  
  
• Label: “2002 China 10Y Silver Panda 1 oz – PF 70 DCAM” After reviewing the references and consulting the major coin catalogs, it appears there was a labeling error. The standard 2002 1 oz Silver Panda was only issued as a business strike (MS), and the only official proof that year was the Beijing International Coin Expo issue. In other words, there should not be a “PF 70 DCAM” designation on this coin. I emailed ANACS support. Does the board have any suggestiond on how I can remedy this. A PF70 of would be over $4,000. I bought a a bunch just to get this coin.

Anacs would likely reholder it for a fee since you aren't the original submitter.

I looked on the NGC modern Chinese pages and it does list this as MS, but even their picture looks like a proof coin, as does your example. I wonder how NGC/PCGS labels this year.

Now, would it fetch you $4,000? That's up to buyers! I'm not at all familiar with that market, but I know the opening of grading offices in Hong Kong from NGC and PCGS has boosted the numbers of graded Asian coins for sure!

 

Numista lists it as a proof https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19714.html and under Type says non-circulating coins. The photo icon next to 2002 shows a PCGS slabbed MS70. Where do you get a $4000 value? The MS70s on Heritage have sold for around $300-400. ANACS pop report shows 16 graded under MS and 31 under PR, so I don't know what's going on. Just poking around. What did China sell these as?
