Description
The product is a rare 1892 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar coin certified by PCGS as MS67+. With only one coin graded higher by PCGS, this coin is highly sought after by collectors for its RARE CONDITION, EXCEPTIONAL TONING, commemorative nature and silver composition. Minted in Philadelphia, this business strike coin features the iconic Columbian Exposition design, making it a valuable addition to any US coin collection.
Because this coin was the FIRST Commemorative coin created, MOST of them were carried around in pockets and handbags and use as over the counter money. Therefore, it is EXTREMLY RARE for these coins to grade out in a HIGH Mint State. This coin is one of the highest graded MS 67 coins known to exist and would be an INCREDIBLE ADDITION to any SERIOUS COLLECTOR.
The Rainbow Toning adds to it's beauty and as you can see in the pictures, truly makes this a one of a kind!!
The 1892 Columbian Exposition half dollar was the first-ever United States commemorative coin, authorized by Congress to fund the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Struck in 90% silver, it honored the 400th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas, sold for $1.00 at the fair, and featured the Santa Maria ship.
Key Historical Details:
Purpose: Congress authorized up to 5 million half dollars to raise funds for the fair's construction, which was over budget.
Designers: The obverse (facing right, based on a portrait) was by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, and the reverse (the Santa Maria over two hemispheres) was by George T. Morgan.
Significance: It was the first American coin to feature a non-mythological human figure, Christopher Columbus.
Production: 950,000 were struck in 1892 (often with a weak strike), followed by over 1.5 million in 1893.
