    He's right, though. Of all of Barber's designs, I like this one the best.

    I just noticed this line - The figure of Columbia is seen scattering flowers from a cornucopia held by a cherub, or clothing-optional child. They're making this coin sound like a porn magazine!

    That the nature of the Pan-Pac half dollars, Lucy. They typically have weak luster and little life.

    The coin offered here is totally original and well preserved for its kind, but it's not my idea of an attractive coin.

    Here's the piece from my collection, which a PCGS MS-64. The picture does not do this coin justice. This piece pleases me as much as any Pan-Pac half dollar that I have seen.

    Superior's Pan Pac half is one of these mottled butt-ugly coins that should be downgraded just for its lack of eye-appeal. Bill's coin is much more attractive eventhough it is an MS64.
