Love my Columbian Half (edited to add, I have space in my yard for the Chicago statue).

Not a high grade example and not a great photo but my only one, I've always like ships on coins.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I always thought it should be called the "Columbus" half and not the Columbian. Oh well.
Nice!
I don't have one.
Not mine, but cool:
Columbian Half is short for Columbian Exposition Half Dollar.
My only commemoratives , a 92 + 93 in a pcgs double holder. Both PL and toned
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Those toned in all sorts of interesting ways
This one is in a PC AU55 holder:
I bought it raw and had it graded. The grading cost more than the coin. Oh well.....
I never really cared for the design until someone gifted me one...then they stated removing his statues.

Most great men in history would be locked up today. Kids think that makes history vile but I suspect they may think humans are entitled to peaceful coexistence. Bit naive
Sort of like how my kids think eating is a right and nothing but a smorgasburg of their favorites will do. How do you make a rich kids know hunger? I can’t send them to ranger school can I?
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Beautiful coins.
I just noticed, the number on this holder starts with the 108.
