1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition $50. Octagonal. MS-62 (PCGS). A flashy example of this famous octagonal $50 with extensive matte-like luster in the fields. Boldly struck and toned in uniform golden-wheat coloration throughout. Obviously handled with greater care than most Panama-Pacific Exposition $50s that have come down to the present day, this original and highly attractive coin is sure to catch the eye of discerning collectors. A net mintage of 645 pieces leaves few to go around today, and these have been increasingly sought after since the Commemorative boom of the 1930s. They remain the key to the Commemorative gold series along with the Round format of the same issue.<p><p> From the Naples Bay Collection. From the Naples Bay Collection.
