*Auction Highlight* 1892 Columbian . . Old Commem Half Dollar 50c Graded GEM Unc By USCG. The Columbus Half Dollar along with the Isabella Quarter were Minted in Honor of the 400th Anniversary of Columbus' Voyage to the New World. It was First Distributed at the Worlds Fair Honoring that Voyage. When Examining a Columbian Exposition Half Dollar, the First Points to Show Wear are ColumbusÕ Eyebrow, Cheek and the Hair Behind his Forehead and Jaw. On the Reverse, Check the Foresail and Sainsail, as well as the Right Side of the Eastern Hemisphere. The commemorative was sold at the Worlds fair in 1892. Originally sold at a premium, by the later portion of the fair a large amount had been unsold, so they started being sold at face value. Thus most werespent as money, leaving very few in uncirculated condition as is the case with most of the other issues of the old commemorative program. this example is both the rarer year and in near pristine condition!
