Lot 1760
1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold $50 Round. PCGS graded MS-62. Nice gold toning. Glistening fields rise and fall with original golden mint bloom, an almost velvet-like surfacing the result of the way the die engraver was able to depict the artist Aiken's intentions. Against this are set serious, mark-free design elements. A solidly graded, MS62 quality specimen, this coin displays impressive striking detail for such a large coin (it weighs 2-1/2 ounces). This is also to say that the strike is full, including those stylized leaves on Minerva's helmet and the plume above which makes this the most unusual gold piece ever minted by the U.S. government up to that time. The round format $50 is considerable scarcer than the octagonal $50. Pop 69. (PCGS # 7451) .
Estimated Value $60,000 - 63,000.
