The listing, 1893 Commemorative Half Dollar Columbian Coin has ended.
The World's Columbian Exposition half dollar was the first United States commemorative coin designed by Olin Lewis Warner. Charles E. Barber engraved the obverse, showing the bust of Columbus; and George T. Morgan engraved the reverse, a representation of Columbus’s flagship the Santa Maria above two hemispheres. The coins were sold for $1 each at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago during 1893. A great many remained unsold and a substantial quantity was later released for circulation at face value or melted. FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA ONLY. THANK YOU
