<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 15725308, member: 101855&quot;]That is a very example of the Pan-PAC half dollar. This coin is almost never seen with original bright white surfaces. They are almost all toned. Almost all of the white ones have been dipped or cleaned. The reason is the various types of packaging that were used to house the coins when they were sold. Single pieces came in an envelope which was not sulfur free. The multiple coin sets came in velvet lined boxes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago Heritage was offering a three piece set, with the box of issue at a Summer FUN show. It contained the half dollar, gold dollar and the quarter eagle. All of the coins were NGC certified. The gold coins were nice, with the gold dollar especially nice in an MS-67 holder. The half dollar was a mess. It had been cleaned with an abrasive and was in a details holder. Most likely this was an original set which contained coins that had been stored in the box for years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
