Owner Comments
The 1892 Columbian is an important date as it was the first commemorative half dollar struck in the classic series. This specimen is a gorgeous and well struck coin with almost mark free and radiant surfaces and is among the finest of the type. The lustrous obverse features spectacular concentric rim toning in shades of cobalt blue & emerald green, while the portrait of Columbus is bathed in hues of orange, rose, and golden yellow. The reverse has proof-like surfaces that blaze reflectively under the lightly toned central devices in colors of light orange and rose, that are framed by concentric rim toning in varied shades of emerald / forest green, and burnt orange. A wonderfully preserved example of this first year type.

A super coin of one of the nicest designs in the series.

A superb example featuring a light green and golden patina over the obverse and reverse. A possible early strike and upon close inspection the reverse shows characteristics for a Swiatek variety I, with a large letter L in the motto "pluribus" and the lack of clash and polish in the space between the tree leaves.A great example in super condition with a proof like contrast between the flashy fields and crisp detail of the devices.

This Huguenot is a condition consensus population coin, a PCGS plate coin, and has a dynamic pedigree from two of the finest registry sets ever assembled. This brilliant and superb gem possesses a warm golden glow on both the obverse and reverse. Of note, George Morgan, the former chief engraver of the U.S. mint completed engravings of the Huguenot designs before his death. Back to this coin, there are virtually no marks on this remarkably preserved gem specimen.

This commemorative is typically plagued with problems and considered by many numismatists to be among the ugliest coins in the entire classic commemorative series. However, this coin defies that notion by presenting a coin with satiny original surfaces which reveal a delicate patina of steely blue mixed with orange, green & golden colosr on both the obverse and reverse. Great color and eye appeal.
