I upgraded my 1915-S Pan Pac Half earlier this year and wanted to see what the CCF Members had to say about her.   Thank you for your interest and comments!  Edited by oih82w8

I think it does not fit in well with your collection and you should send it me post haste....
That is one nice coin!

Beautiful - looks like at least a 66. |

I don't know anything about the specific grading criteria for commemorative halves, but I'll take a whack.
I'll presume this is an uncirculated piece; therefore, the slight softness of some high points (the goddess's head, eagle's head, breast, and talons) is due to strike, not wear. Luster seems intact across the fields and the attractive toning looks original. I see tiny contact marks in the fields and on the goddess's robe. Looks like there are some larger contact marks on the left shoulder of the cherub. The scattering of dark spots on the lower right reverse is a slight distraction.
MS-64 seems like a fair grade. I'd like to see stronger high-point detail to justify a higher grade. Beautiful coin, regardless. Congrats!

I can't tell, but I think I see some wear under all that jaw-dropping luster, so - AU-58. If it is MS, then I would say around MS-62. Gorgeous example by the way! |

AU-58? I think I see wear but I'm not certain.
Nice MD on the obverse though ;)
I never really got into commemorative halves...it's not too late since I'm still 16...haha.

Nice color and eye appeal but I thought AU right away. I don't know this coin well at all and would guess AU55.

Nice coin but I have to agree with BH1964, seems like wear on the eagles chest and right talon. AU-55 seems fair.
