1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold $2.50. NGC graded MS-65. A splendid gem example of the Panama-Pacific quarter eagle. The surfaces are mint fresh and abound with luster, and the strike is sharp throughout. Unlike later commemorative issues, these early pieces were generally sold to the non-collecting public at large, and today gems are scarce. This one was obviously carefully preserved from the time of issue. Always popular with numismatists, the unusual design motifs captured the era of expansion and increased trade while relying on ancient Greek and Roman traditions.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
