1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition Half Dollar BU
The 1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition Half Dollar stands as a remarkable milestone in United States coinage. Struck in San Francisco, this silver piece contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal and is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, allowing its artistic details to shine just as they did over a century ago. The obverse design presents a striking allegorical representation of Columbia, depicted with a serene sunset over the San Francisco Bay. This imagery beautifully links the coin to the California exposition it celebrated. On the reverse, a proud eagle serves as the central focal point. Historically, this series holds a special distinction. The Panama-Pacific issues were the very first commemorative coins to feature the phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" on their reverse, making this half dollar a pivotal piece of American numismatic evolution.
