GTG - 1893 Columbian Exposition Commemorative Silver Half Dollar

DiggerJim

I picked this through an auction for what I think is a reasonable price. And would like to know what you would grade it at.

Coincidentally, I just saw a post about a similar coin, who would have thunk it. Two Columbian Expo post in one day!!

Thanks in advance.

Difficult to tell from the pics. Looks MS, so Id guess 62.

I'd say AU as I think I see wear on the forehead, lower curls, rear sails.

Cmon guys I thought 62 was doing good. Now I’m ready to throw it in the bucket

I'm in the EF range myself. The top rear sail is the highlight of wear for reverse. I see no ribs on the sail at all. The eyebrow and hair above the forehead detail is pretty worn also.

The sail lines on the 93 come strong and are all rubbed away from brief circulation so AU.

Thanks Gentlemen.
I think I’m at a break even point and still learning. It’s a keeper.
