I won this stunning MS62 1892 Columbian Commemorative for a lot less than I was willing to pay last night

In answer to your question . . . absolutely!!! Commems are one coin that really should have some original toning . . . the storage for many of them involved suphur-laden cardboard holders, and in many cases a lot of years, as everyone is probably already aware . . .

Yours is super . . . . the Columbians are often seen with that deeper coloration.

Thanks for the comments folks...I think it's a keeper and can't wait to get my hands on it

Love when you can find them nicely toned!

It`s tough to find a nicely toned Columbian and a 1892 at that.

Nice one!

Nice catch! Greattoning usually ends his auctions on Sunday evening but didn't this past weekend due to the Superbowl. I think that threw a few collectors off and you were able to swoop in and pick this stunning Columbian for a song!

I love those colors and MS62? Where'd they come up with that?! I bet it's even nicer in hand.

Nice commemorative half. I like those Columbian halfs when there toned like that.

I know you were on the hunt Braddick.......didn't you snipe me on a coin or two that BigD5 was selling???

Guess I should have uped my bids towards the end as I got comfortable thinking I was going to steal a few on the Bay!!!!
