United States Gold Dollar 1915-S Pan-Pacific
Coin Details
Issue Summary
The label identifies the coin as a 1915-S Panama-Pacific $2.50 Quarter Eagle when the coin is clearly a 1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar ($1). The reverse of the coin plainly reads "ONE DOLLAR", contradicting the $2.5 denomination on the label.
Expected vs. Actual
Attribution
Impact
May significantly affect valuation \u2014 the Panama-Pacific $2.50 and $1 are distinct commemorative types with substantially different market values and mintage figures. Corrupts population data for both types.
Notes
The coin reverse clearly displays "ONE DOLLAR" text while the NGC slab label reads "$2.5". Both the Panama-Pacific $1 and $2.50 are gold commemoratives from the same 1915 series, making this a plausible but verifiable attribution error. Reported in a Collectors Universe forum discussion.
