Commemorative Silver
1915-S 50C Panama-Pacific MS67 PCGS. CAC. A breathtaking palette of iridescent colors grace the obverse of this Superb Gem. At the periphery, a band of salmon-pink coloration is bordered by thin, successive rings of sea-green, lavender, and russet toning that flow into a variegated pool of ice-blue and platinum hues in the center. The reverse is an even silver-gray tone. The 1915 Panama-Pacific halves were all struck at the San Francisco Mint and were the first commemorative coins to include the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. PCGS has seen three finer submissions (11/16).
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 7-8/2008), lot 2139; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 4206.
