A new way to view a Pan-Pac commemorative half dollar
I clicked this link to view an email offering from Mark Feld;
http://markfeldcoins.com/client/2009..._panpac631.jpg I had to scroll the page horizontally to put the reverse in full view. Centering the reverse, my first thought was..., well, open this link in a second window; http://www.stinalisa.com/HokeyPokey.html then quickly go back to the first window and.... It's probably just me but the two web pages seemed to go together nicely. Anyway, if nothing else enjoy the Panama Pacific commemorative half dollar. Bill |

That's a beautiful coin, no doubt about it, and one of the few with original surfaces that I've seen. And I can't help imagining how Amistad would be chuckling over that view of the eagle's feet.

Bill Bill, you are going to get me in trouble having me open that second link at work. Fortunately my sound was turned low and no one else was in the room at the time. Beautiful half from a great dealer. Unfortunately I couldn't find it in his current listing so I suppose it has sold. |

Beautiful half from a great dealer. Unfortunately I couldn't find it in his current listing so I suppose it has sold. -------------------------------------------- It is a new purchase (actually, I believe he said it is on consignment) that he has made and I have often lost out because I open my email too late and find out the coin has already sold by the time I email to say I am taking it. In fact, most of the time he replies and says I am third, fourth or fifth to request the coin and it's mine if the others fall out. The coin may still be in his inventory, unclaimed, or it may have sold within minutes of his email offerings update. Anyway, the Pan-Pac is still out of my range, price-wise. The coin shown in the link is a PCGS MS66 and the asking price was $3,500. I am speculating with spousal gold uncs, hoping that there is some similarity with the Jackie Robinson gold that did so well with a 5,000 mintage. I do not anticipate a 10x increase in value for the spousal gold but I do hope that if the economy does rebound in a few years ( in my mind a big if), the market will drive the lowest mintage spousal gold to double or 150% increases. The bottom side will be gold melt plus a small premium, so downside risk is not so bad. Should my speculation pay off even in a small way, I would use the profits to get a Pan-Pac, Hawaiian, Hudson or one of several other of the more expensive commems. The interesting thing about spousal gold is I have only seen one dealer advertise any of that series and it was an offer to sell one of the first releases that had sold out mintages. The dealer's ad ran for 2 weeks then disappeared. It is like there is no secondary market at all for spousal gold, other than eBay. Most of eBay's auctions are for early, higher mintage releases or for certified coins of the later releases, at least the last time I checked a few months ago. My senses say either no real collector demand for this series or gold's high price and the poor economy have severely dampened the collectibility of the series and a rebounded economy will ignite collector demand (the fact that the first two releases sold out at 5x the mintages of the later releases may be support for the idea of a potential demand).

James the Hokey If I could afford the $3500 price tag for the pictured Pan-Pac (PCGS MS66), I would have happily added it to my collection. I maintain there is only one legitimate way to view the eagle's feet, my view. That bird is obviously doing the hokey-pokey. 8) Bill |

I thought I had made the Delaware cloud comment too but searching Google showed me that you introduced the gaseous baby concept to me, although I get credit for the new way to think of Oregons and Stone Mountains; http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...25596fbab03f19 And no, I am not so proud of those posts. *I have matured since then. I guess I read about the Delaware somewhere else. I had also forgotten your comments about the Oregon and Stone Mountain. I guess that was for the best and it did not factor into my putting the commem collection aside. It's good to know that someone can still continue to mature later in life. Maybe there is still hope for me. I still have my NGC registry set of classic commems but I keep slipping in the ranks. I still like the coins but I got discouraged by the stagnate to falling prices while seeing stacks of them in display cases at every dealers table. It's certainly no worse than Morgans but I don't collect them at all. |
