Losbeschreibung

Warmly toned in deep orange-gold, this attractive example offers soft mint luster on smooth and attractive surfaces. T<p>The Congressional Act of January 16, 1915, called for the production of special half dollars, gold dollars, quarter eagles and $50 gold pieces to commemorative the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The Act specified the maximum number of examples of each denomination to be struck, including 10,000 pieces for the quarter eagle. Due to its proximity to the Expo, the San Francisco Mint produced all of the commemoratives, including the quarter eagles. Sales to the public both at the Exposition and through other venues proved somewhat disappointing, however, and in due course 3,251 examples were returned to the Mint and melted, leaving a net distribution of just 6,749 pieces. Most examples remain in Mint State, although the present example is finer than most and worthy of very strong bids.
