1892 Columbian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Wonderful blue and golden toning. The satin surfaces ripple underneath with original luster, flash and sparkle. The coin is beautiful and original. The only contact mark appears on the curl atop the jaw. Far from the normal scruffy example of this first Commemorative half dollar issue is the respectable amount of detail shown with no signs of weakness at the sails or on ship hull on the reverse. (Columbus's flagship Santa Maria is depicted.) Pop 163; 9 finer in 67. (PCGS # 9296) .
Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.
