I missed these from the PCNS and Dan Carr / @dcarr the first time around and was able to finally pick up a set! Of note, the PCNS was created in 1915 coincide with the PPIE!

Show off your Panama-Pacific Exposition Centennial and original pieces here.

They are all fun!

I saw a reference for the person who made yours on eBay a long time ago but can't recall the person now. I wish I still had the name.

The original PanPacs are America's most beautiful coins - IMO. Cheers, RickO

Picked up a place holder for the $50 round. A Pewter Tribute. 41.275 mm

That’s why I picked up this PCNS medal. For the depiction of the Palace of Fine Arts building.
I absolutely love the image.

That's an amazing specimen Stef! I have a NGC graded version which is nice but kind of brownish. Yours is super yellow! I've been wondering if brass should be designated YL, YB, and BN

The Palace of Fine Arts is an amazing place to visit. I always feel super relaxed there

Thanks @zoins this is a NGC MS66 slab. I purchased a MS67 before Christmas,
It was lost in the mail so I had to get the MS66

That had to sting a little. In the end it's a fabulous piece.

Wow, I agree with @Kudbegud that this is really sad. I have one item lost in the mail and it stings just thinking about it. I was made whole but I'm not sure if it made its way back to the collecting community.

coinsarefun · March 20, 2019 10:35PM

Thanks @Kudbegud and @Zoins. I asked the seller since it was lost could I get
maybe a $20 refund or at least send it registered so it makes it to me this time and
he replied........full refund or replacement of the 67 with a 66. Well, I really wanted one so
I agreed for him to send it out. Took almost a week but I got it.

Kudbegud · March 21, 2019 12:18PM

Thanks to @coinsarefun I searched out the only one out there, made an offer, and got it. My first NGC too.

Awesome @Kudbegud! I need to get some pics of mine now!

I wonder if these were made in silver or other metals.
