Lot Description

Lovely Mint State Pan-Pac $50 in Octagonal Format 1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition $50. Octagonal. MS-62 (PCGS). Lustrous and frosty surfaces are further enhanced by bright, vivid color in golden-honey. A touch of warmer pinkish-rose is also evident over the better preserved reverse, which is an upper end MS-63 with just a couple of tiny marks. Wispy hairlines and a touch of trivial glossiness to the obverse explain the MS-62 grade from PCGS, these features typical of the nature and location of handling on these large-size coins. Sharply struck overall with strong eye appeal. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. PCGS# 7452. NGC ID: BYLX. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here.
