I have this little darling on lay-a-way and wanted to see what the CCF Members thought of her. I have one already ((*cough*) which I have on ebay (*cough*)), but the tone on this speaks volumes to me.
Thank you for your interest!

Very Nice! We won some signed and Numbered Intaglio prints from BEP at the FUN show that were made for the Anniversary of that. One large and 1 small. The small has the stamps from that year on it as well. I guess you can but "copies" of all 3 prints from BEP on their site but we have the real signed deals. Don't know what we are going to do with them yet but, They are very nice. Bobbie and the crew at the CCF booth saw them, we just had to share. I was going to post some pictures of them but cant seem to find a place where they would fit in on the site.  What a process they have to do to make them. Very cool! |

Dar, sounds like something I need to look into to add a bit of eclecticticity for this commemorative.
Thanks for the idea!

You can get the 3 piece set for $99.00 us. http://www.moneyfactorystore.gov/Should be able to see it here. Ours are signed by the engraver and numbered though. Cant get those from the site.  Edited by Dar

Looks to be a nice original example - the colored ring through the inscriptions on the reverse is a good sign that the coin hasn't been tampered with.
In terms of a grade, I'm struggling a bit to determine if some of the darker areas are wear or just heavier toning. I'm going to assume wear and assign a grade of AU50.

Lovely example ... concur with commems that the 'original perimeter toning ring' (my words) that is prevalent on this issue is a strong indicator of original surfaces.
I as well assume some level of wear ... impossible to tell with the photographs provided. AU-something.
Very nice example!

Oh my, I totally spaced out on this one with finals last week... 1915-S/S Panama Pacific Half PCGS AU55
I don't think anybody caught on to the RPM...the image may have been too small.

Great coin. I was thinking higher than AU55... You considered sending that to CAC?

Nice coin for an AU-55.
There really is no value added to send it to CAC at this grade level.
