Description
Splendid MS67 1892 Columbian Half
1892 50C Columbian MS67 NGC. A hiatus of nearly 30 years is certainly valid reason to distinguish between modern and "classic" commemoratives--but one wonders if many appealing modern coins are being excluded and ignored by the separation. For example, the three modern 1992-dated commemorative coins celebrating the quincentenary of Columbus' voyage to the New World would make an excellent accompaniment to this splendid Superb Gem half dollar that observes the quadrennial anniversary. Strictly original patina on each side is pinkish-gold in the centers, with a blend of teal and jade near the rims. The bold Barber "portrait" of Columbus is remarkably abrasion-free.
