  Alot of people seem to "THINK" they have a "proof" Columbian Half, they just can't seem to accept the fact that they don't:

  I wonder how many centuries it would list on Ebay with that price before it sold?

  I think they forgot the "better coin"

  The East and West hemisphere on the reverse looks to have PVC.
  Way weakly struck for a proof.

  When I think of a Colombian half being a proof I think of Julian Leidman. 🤓

  A nice Columbian half and it looks properly graded. Not a proof coin....More ebay hype... surprised it was not found in a 200 year old safe from a pottery store... or some such nonsense. Cheers, RickO

  Before I clicked on the link, I thought is was going to be one of Julian's listings.

  I saw the eBay link pop up when I opened this thread, I just had to make an offer, $1.01, he could fool me and accept the offer...
