Lot 1553		1915-S Panama-Pacific Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Lovely blue and gold toning. A hard to believe array of luster supports the colorful and vibrant highlights. Nicely struck with the design comparable to the best preserved specimens of this type. 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 (PCGS # 9357) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.

On the reverse, Barber depicted the Lafayette equestrian statue at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Lafayette Dollars were sold to defray part of the cost of completing Paul Wayland Bartlett's statue of the French General, then under construction in Paris for display at the exposition. Out of an authorization for 50,000 pieces, 36,000 were sold, the remainder being melted (PCGS # 9222) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.
