1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold $50 Octagonal. NGC graded MS-64. One of the most popular of the commemorative issues, this beautiful design was struck in very limited quantities. The obverse features the head of Minerva with a lovely helmet, surrounded by playful dolphins, and the reverse depicts the wisdom of the owl with pine cones, and more playful dolphins near the edges. Struck in gold and a huge planchet, this coin remains every bit as impressive as the day it was struck. NGC has graded 109 this high, with 17 higher. Mint fresh luster throughout, and we note a few handling marks and hairlines, keeping this in the near-gem category.
Estimated Value $30,000-UP.
