<p>[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1344129, member: 15445"]These commemorative half dollars beckoned me at the FUN show. I was not really looking for a commemorative half dollar when I saw this Pan Pac in Ed Hips case. Ed & Lance Hips offered me the coin at the right grade & the right price. Just a few steps down the aisle & I picked-up the San Diego piece. I had only been in Orlando for an hour & I had already had two cool commemoratives half dollars added to my collection. BTW, if you had told me that morning that I was going to buy commemorative half dollar coins at FUN I would have said you were crazy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 1915-S Pan Pac is a gemmy coin IMO. It has the typical dark toning encroaching from the periphery that is seen on many Pan Pacs. I’m no expert, but I have seen several of these coins with this toning pattern. This one is brighter than most I’ve seen and I hope that the toning is halted. It is in an NGC holder. If you would like to guess the grade then I’ll post it tomorrow. I will tell you that I have a green CAC sticker on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
