Description
Impressive Superb Gem 1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar
1915-S G$1 Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS67 PCGS. Among commemorative designers, Charles Keck ranks as an underrated visionary. His 1915 design for the Panama-Pacific gold dollar, for example, received mixed reviews on its debut. In Vermeule's Numismatic Art in America, however, the artist finds a measure of redemption in the author's words: "Charles Keck's gold dollar is a novel, daring use of the limited area afforded by such a small, thin coin. Compared with the earlier gold dollars, the coin is a work of art."Similarly, the Superb Gem offered here is a thing of beauty. The shining surfaces, wheat-gold with a blush of peach, are exquisitely preserved and offer spectacular visual appeal. A noteworthy piece with excellent definition, housed in a green label holder. Neither NGC nor PCGS has certified a numerically finer example (11/07).
