1892 Columbian Half, MS67
With Typical 'Columbian Half Toning'

1892 50C Columbian MS67 NGC. CAC. A few issues are identifiable by distinctive toning or some other attribute. 1925 Peace dollars are often seen with golden toning, 1881-S dollars are usually found with bright, semiprooflike fields, and Columbian halves are usually found with deep cobalt-blue, rose, and gray toning and strong underlying mint frost. This is such a coin. What is not a given are the clean surfaces seen here. A great many Columbian halves were extensively abraded by non-collectors, and many were also used in the channels of commerce. The surfaces are nearly mark-free, it will take a magnifier and some patience to locate any flaws. None have been graded finer at either service.(Registry values: N4719)
