1915-S Panama-Pacific Round Fifty Dollar
Attractive Unc Details Example

1915-S $50 Panama-Pacific 50 Dollar Round -- Altered Surfaces -- PCGS Genuine. Unc Details. The Panama-Pacific International was not the final large-scale exposition held in America, as Chicago hosted the Century of Progress Exposition in 1933 and the New York World's Fair was later held in 1939, but it was the final exposition for which the U.S. Mint produced special commemorative coins. That fact, along with the coins' scarcity, puts the Panama-Pacific fifty dollar gold pieces among the most highly sought-after of all U.S. commemorative issues.

This is an attractive Round fifty, much finer than its net grade would indicate. The surfaces are smooth and lustrous with even, light reddish-gold color throughout. Smoothing in the center of the obverse accounts for the Altered Surfaces designation.
