1893 COLUMBIAN HALF DOLLAR # 39 XF DETAILS PROOF LIKE AROUND OUTSIDE LETTERING

Description: 1893 COLUMBIAN HALF DOLLAR # 39 XF DETAILS PROOF LIKE AROUND OUTSIDE LETTERING FREE SHIPPING AS ALWAYS America's first commemorative half dollar's were the 1892 and 1893 Columbian Exposition or Worlds Fair. There was a mintage of over 5 million coins but many of them were melted down. Originally sold for one dollar, many of the left over half dollars were released into general circulation. They are over 125 years old and most of them laid in the bottom of your great grand parents, grandparents, and even parents under ware drawers. Since they were exposed to air and the undies, many of them retain a darker toning to them. Over the years, grandma might shin them up with her trusty silver polish leaving hair line marks on the coins. A lot of them came back on the market in the early 1980's when silver rose to almost $50.00 an ounce. People sold them for approximately 1/2 of their "melt" value. Over the years coin dealers and gold and silver buyers have continued to buy them. Many of the old half dollars remain in high grade with most of the details still showing. With silver trading today around the $25.00 area the coins have a melt value of $9.00 each. Here at fredsneatstuff we can offer them to you for around double their melt value or less depending on their condition. Uncirculated ones do sell for more. This is still a great opportunity for you to own America's first ever commemorative half dollars for a very affordable price. Remember, you always receive free shipping from fredsneatstuff.
