The Columbian Expo Half is one of my weak spots. I love 'em. I have over 140, about 110 are love tokens, counterstamped, etc. Here's one of them.

Not a half, but Columbian nonetheless.
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.

Always liked this coin... Used to occasionally get one in change when I was a kid with a paper route.... Could not afford to save them at that time... Cheers, RickO
Many of these coins entered circulation and some people thought the ship had wheels.

My newest find:

MPL's - Lincolns of Color
Central Valley Roosevelts
Commems and Early Type
Those cases are ultra cool!

It's interesting to note that there are no contemporary portraits of Columbus and any portraits that you see in paintings and on coins and medals are the artist's guess as to what he may have looked like.

That looks like Washington (father), Lincoln (savior), and Grant (defender) on the reverse.
