1915-S Gold $50 Panama-Pacific MS-62 PCGS CAC
In 1915, the San Francisco Mint struck an extraordinary commemorative coin to celebrate the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. This massive gold piece, carrying a face value of fifty dollars, represents one of the most remarkable artistic achievements in American numismatic history. Struck in 90 percent pure gold, this round version is incredibly rare, with a total mintage of just 483 pieces. The obverse and reverse designs are rich with classical imagery and inscriptions. The coin features the mottos "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM", alongside the name of the issuing nation, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". The date is rendered in Roman numerals as MCMXV, and the denomination is marked as "FIFTY DOLLARS". An "S" mintmark designates its origin from the San Francisco facility. This particular specimen has been certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62) condition, preserving the bold details of its design. It also bears approval from the Corporation (), confirming its exceptional quality for the assigned grade.
