Features and Benefits

THE FIRST COMMEMORATIVE SILVER HALF DOLLAR

OVER 110 YEARS OLD!!!

With the Christopher Columbus obverse and his ship, the Santa Maria, on the reverse.  This was the first U.S. commemorative coins struck by the United States, 100 years after the first US mint was established in 1792 and 400 years after Columbus' maiden voyage.  A historical first, Congress authorized the mintage of these beautiful coins in 1892 to help fund the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They were only struck in 1892 and 1893, due to the delay in the opening of the world's fair. Many of the Columbian Half Dollars were used in everyday circulation and substantial quantities are believed to have been melted in later years for their silver by the mint. Scarce in all grades, we have been fortunate to obtain a small supply of these historic commemorative half dollars, the first United States silver commemorative half dollars, to be able to make this offering. 

Although never formally numerically graded these coins are all circulated with some still in excellent condition.

Each bid is for a 1 Circulated 1893 Silver Columbian Expo Half Dollar, If your bid is for "quantity 2" you are bidding on 2 circulated Columbian Half Dollars, "quantity 3" is 3 1893 Columbian Half Dollars, etc.
