Not Sold Description
Amazing 1915-S Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle, MS67
1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS67 NGC. Out of all the classic gold commemorative issues, only one, the 1922 Grant dollar, was the creation of a lady designer (Laura Gardin Fraser). Seven years earlier, in 1915, another artist, Evelyn Beatrice Longman of New York City, was awarded the commission to design the Panama-Pacific quarter eagle, but she fell ill and her ideas were abandoned at the sketch stage. In their place went a collaboration between Charles Barber and George T. Morgan, one of several among the nation's earliest commemoratives.This strongly lustrous Superb Gem is primarily butter-yellow with hints of peach and rose close to the rims. Though Columbia's head shows a degree of softness, the overall preservation is wonderful, and the coin's visual appeal is a match. Tied for the numerically finest certified by NGC or PCGS (8/08).(Registry values: N4719)
