Lot 2757		1892 Columbian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Lightly toned about the borders with slightly prooflike surfaces. In an old style holder. The Columbian was a prolific issue. That said, most were sold to the general public and to those who weren't coin collectors.

Lot 2759		1900 Lafayette Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nicely toned on both sides.

The portraits are of Generals George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette, the latter a French aristocrat and adventurer who provided major support for the Americans in the Revolutionary War. The wealthy French citizen came to America to support the Revolution. He befriended General Washington and was with him at Valley Forge (PCGS # 9222) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.
