Just snagged this tonight. Please give your opinions as to grade and value. 1915-S/S Panama Pacific Commemorative Half Dollar, FS-501, Re-Punched MM Sellers photos
A 58 min, but these never had much luster to begin with but more of a satin appearance to them. I don't see any ware here and it could grade much higher.
I am not seeing the secondary S. Maybe it is just the photos but the top of the S should be protruding to the right not just the bottom curve. When you get it in hand maybe you can get some better photos.
A beauty for sure...somewhere not less than 58 and maybe MS...not familiar enough with it off the top of my head.
I love that coin! Here's mine - my Grandfather bought in San Francisco on a business trip in 1915 at face or pretty close to it, I think. For the first 45 years, it was loose with other coins he had. When I was a kid in 1960, I got it into a more protected environment. I'd love to hear some opinions on its condition - I never touched it.
Your specimen is definitely ms even though it has ssome signs of mixing with other coins. Not knocking the op specimen but to those who don't see wear just look at all high spots all have wear ,compared with this specimen. Head,legs,toes ,as well other higher devices. I say 60 to 62 on this coin above and again high Au. For the op's. I know people get hung up on Au. Hell I love Au. Coins some of the best in my collection are Au. And to be honest I be in high cotton if my collection was all Au. Coins.
