Here we have an 1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition $1 Gold coin. This United States commemorative gold coin has been graded by PCGS and determined to be in MS 64 condition and also was awarded the coveted CAC sticker too.
The Panama Canal, which remains one of the engineering marvels of the modern age, was completed in August of 1914. To celebrate this achievement, Congress authorized the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915. This Expo, held in San Francisco, was also a celebration of the city’s recovery from the devastating earthquake of 1906. In addition to the expo, Congress authorized a series of commemorative coins honoring the exposition. These were to include a half dollar, gold dollar, $2.5 gold piece, and two different $50 gold pieces; one round, and one octagonal.
The coins were all struck at the San Francisco Mint. The entire 25,000 maximum mintage was struck, but not all were sold. Even though the design was well-received, fair-goers balked at the $2 price, and 10,000 of the pieces ended up in melting pots. This left a net mintage of 15,000 coins for the issue.
You’ll receive the same certified American gold commemorative dollar coin as pictured.
