Lot 587 - 1915-S Panama-Pacific Half Dollar PCGS MS65
1915-S Panama-Pacific Half Dollar. Bright white and refreshingly clean for this issue, with shimmering satin frost in the fields and similar gem quality devices. The fields are typically satin for this S-mint commemorative half dollar with much swirling luster. The pressure transmitted from the die to the blank reveals itself in sharp devices including a very attractive eagle in its "defiant" pose on the reverse. (A similar eagle appears on the very rare 1877 Pattern half dollars, and it is assumed that the coin's designer, Charles E. Barber, used that as his, well, "pattern" for this smart looking 1915-S design.) (#9357)
