    Wow, it would really be great to own those coins. That is one monster 1915-S half. Just to have the original box would be neat and interesting.

    Unfortunately, the farm wouldn't bring that pan-pac octagonal $50 home...but it sure is a beautiful coin.

    not exactly a flury of active bidders for those coins, in fact i see NO bidders.
    your not trying to bulldog these coins for your dealer friends are you?
    nonetheless, no law against it. just an observation. image

    Wow, I really like those Pan-Pac coins (the box I could live without).

    As for the 1797 half dollar, the description read:

    "PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AUCTION or purchasing it now."

    Since this item was pulled from auction as "no longer available for sale," might that also mean "Please call or e-mail to arrange to purchase this coin off eBay, since the FVF will be brutal for this one?" image

    The Pan-Pacs, my favorite commems. I've owned the half, but I sold it. This one has amazing colors. Most I have seen are dipped white, or have this ugly brown toning.

    The origional box is interesting. Was there more than one 1915 box? The one in the Red Book looks different from the one for sale. Still, I wouldn't buy any empty box for $1000! image

    hey Cam

    no bulldogging on my part, i've just always loved the Pan-Pac issues. i think in time i'll end up owning the Half-Dollar, Dollar and Two-and-One-Half-Dollar Pan-Pacs but the last two are waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy outa my reach. beautiful and weighty slugs, aren't they??!!??

    ironically, there's also a PCGS MS67 Pan-Pac Half over at eBay listed by a forum member, a coin holdered two grades higher and priced at half the linked coin, a reflection of the tone and the toning craze.

    The Pan-Pacs are my favorite series of commems as well. I got the half, and like keets I expect to acquire the dollar and $2½ sometime in my life (I already scoped out a couple of the dollars, but haven't pulled the trigger on one yet) -- but the two big boys I can't see myself ever owning, short of a lotto win.

    Still, there's always the pictures...
