<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 3049870, member: 90913&quot;][ATTACH]762910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]762912[/ATTACH] Can someone help me with two questions I have regarding Chinese Panda 10-Y coins?&nbsp; The first photo shows and compares the common reverse between 2017 and 2013.&nbsp; Notice the 2017&#039;s image is &quot;frosted&quot; (please pardon me if I&#039;m not using the correct numismatic terminology) with less sharp details, whereas the 2013&#039;s image is &quot;shiny&quot; with much more clarity.&nbsp; Look at the stairs for example.&nbsp; Is the 2017 (and I also have 2016 and 2015 which are similar) just a weaker strike vs. the 2013?&nbsp; Or is this some kind of a deliberate style change?</p><p><br /></p><p>My second question relates to the thickness (see second photo).&nbsp; The thicker coin is the 2013 (1 oz.) and the thinner coin is the 2017 (the mint&#039;s newer 30 g version).&nbsp; Since 1 oz. = 28.3 g, shouldn&#039;t the coin on the left (2017) be thicker?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for some education.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
