A gorgeous gem of the finest order. The highly lustrous surfaces exhibit mingled medium old silver toning from the issue card. Nicely struck as well, fully so, which clearly merits mention here.
Coins were struck in conjunction with the large celebration held in San Francisco in 1915 to announce the opening of the Panama Canal. The Half Dollar was conceived by Charles E. Barber, one of the mint's engravers. It features Liberty and a child on the obverse. Liberty is holding two sprigs of flowers while behind, the sun sets between the southern and northern outcroppings of the Golden Gate, entrance to San Francisco Bay. Barber placed a wingspread eagle on the reverse, having it stand atop the union shield rather than the shield superimposed on its breast as was the tradition up till then. In all, 27,314 were sold out of an original authorized mintage of 60,000. The unsold pieces were remelted.
