1893 Columbian Expo Classic Commemorative 10303.40-A

The 1893 Columbian Exposition half dollar is a landmark issue in American numismatics — the first classic commemorative coin struck by the United States Mint. Issued to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas and sold at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, it features a portrait of Columbus on the obverse and his flagship, the Santa María, on the reverse. This is a raw (ungraded/unslabbed) example of this historic type coin, ideal for collectors of classic U.S. commemoratives or Gilded Age Americana.
