nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15559 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 05:43 am Quote: Still need that silver piece -- not easy to find one without much ring toning That is one of the defining characteristics for an MS Pan-Pacific half dollar. I do enjoy your gold dollar. The Panama-Pacific Exposition produced an amazing amount of numismatic material. Most collectors are familiar with the 5 denominated coins (half, dollar, $2.5 and two $50) ... but there is also an entire collection to be built from the So-Called Dollars and related metallic tokens. I'm a fan of all of them .... although my coins from the Exposition are limited to an MS66/CAC half and the following well circulated example: 1915-S Panama Pacific International Exposition Half Dollar - PCGS FR02 Enjoy Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 08:53 am I was looking for a 65, and I looked long and hard. But for whatever reason, this 64 came up, I liked it, and I bought it for a ridiculously cheap price. Like no one else but one other cheapskate saw it for bid. So it may "only" be a 64, but I take a lot of pride in the fact that it was reasonable. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15559 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 7:31 pm I absolutely agree that Worn Out two examples are spectacular. Amazing eye appeal toned MS example ... and the lovely PCGS PO01 that I know from that set. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15559 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 8:38 pm Quote: 3. We don't need to be too rule-bound. I'm going with rule 3 by the OP with the following ... in the spirit of sharing and education. The 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition was the source for a tremendous amount of numismatic material beyond the coins ... as I suggested in my original reply this morning. The most popular of these are the 27 So-Called Dollars (SCD) as cataloged by Hibler-Kappen (HK) ... with 44 SCD recognized by various composition. There are also a plethora of un-catologed 'minor' medals issued for the Expo ... I'm a fan of all of these ... and sharing a few examples below: HK 424 - Octagonal Dollar HK-410b- Kentucky Fund This is an extremely rare item ... an adjective often used ... but in this case appropriate as there are less than 20 known surviving examples. That is a small sampling of my PPIE SCD collection ... a wonderful pursuit which I encourage you to at least consider. That said ... I'm always interested in honestly circulated coins ... same for this pursuit ... so closing with this example: HK-409 Montana Day - AG03/FR02 (raw) Enjoy Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 12:59 am Nickelsearcher - those are incredible!!!! With that said, we move on to the Pilgrim. This one is an early stage reverse die break. Because the Pilgrim is somewhat common, I wanted one with the die break, and I also am wanting and waiting for the right 1921 to come along.

Worn Out Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 01:16 am Great examples everyone PCGS MS64 PCGS PO01 PCGS MS64 PCGS G06 Report this Post to the Staff
TreeMonkey Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 01:19 am My example of this fine coin (love the ship!). Notice the missing metal divot just behind the stern. This does not appear to be PMD (mint error/grease?). Still good enough to rate MS64 by PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff
Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 01:22 am Those are very cool Pilgrims! Worn Out - I love that G06 - looks like a ghost ship, very cool! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15559 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 07:00 am I've always enjoyed the image of the Mayflower on the high seas. Beefer comment about the ghost ship is exactly on target for the grade shown ... as we go lower in grade the ship tends to disappear. 1920 Pilgrim Tercentenary Half Dollar - PCGS FR02 Enjoy Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 05/05/2018 07:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 08:40 am Although I'm not usually interested in "type" types, such as ships, the number available on the CSC is inspiring. Here are my Pilgrims: Report this Post to the Staff
