Description
NGC 1892 Columbian MS 67. As the first commemorative half dollar struck, the Columbian half holds a special place in the long and historic commemorative series. From the first proof striking that sold for $10,000 in 1892, to the final 1893 business strike, Columbian halves were popularly collected at the time and in the hundred years since. This is a spectacularly toned piece whose central regions are light in color and shade gradually to a thin ring of russet-brown, then the entire side is framed a lovely sky-blue with silvery accents at the rims. Superb luster and exceptional eye appeal overall. Population: 3 in 67, none are finer (4/94). It is hard to imagine the other two MS 67 coins being as nice as this one. A strong candidate for finest known.
