THESE ARE VERY LIMITED SILVER ROUNDS SO GET YOURS NOW WHILE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE! 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 citys recovery from the devastating earthquake of 1906. In addition to the expo, Congress authorized a series of commemorative coins honoring the exposition. The bill authorizing these issues was signed into law on January 16, 1915. The half dollar’s obverse was designed by U. Mint Chief Engraver Charles Barber. Whereas most of his designs were usually old fashioned and static, he actually produced a very aesthetically pleasing and artistic obverse. It depicts the figure of Columbia scattering flowers from a cornucopia held by a cherub. Encircling the periphery is the inscription PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION. The San Francisco mintmark (S) is located to the left of the date. Barber’s assistant George T. Morgan was selected to design the reverse. Unfortunately, Morgan did little more than modify the eagle reverse he used on the silver dollar first struck in 1878. The bird is perched on top of the Union shield. To its left is an oak branch, symbolizing stability, and to the right is an olive branch, symbolizing peace. The legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR surround the border, while the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears above the eagle. The olive branch of peace is particularly ironic on a coin struck the year after World War I broke out. Distribution of the coins was handled by Farran Zerbe, a past American Numismatic Association President and well-known promoter of numismatics. While the authorized mintage was 200,000, the San Francisco Mint struck a total of 60,000 pieces over the course of the Exposition. Of those, 32,866 remained unsold and were melted. This leaves a net mintage of 27,134 coins for this now scarce and popular commemorative half dollar. Contains 2 troy ounces. Obverse: The figure of Columbia is seen scattering flowers from a cornucopia held by a cherub, or naked child. The cornucopia represents the abundant resources of the West, and the rays of the sun, wave motif and north and south sides of the entrance to San Francisco Bay are clearly suggestive of a Golden Gate to the West. Reverse: The Eagle is perched on top of the Union shield. The legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 2 TROY OUNCES surround the border, while the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears above the eagle. Each of these 2 ounce silver rounds are available to you in BU condition. Products in BU condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though minor coining flaws are possible such as breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks.
