1892-1893 Columbian Commem Half Dollars

The 1892 coin was the inaugural release, followed by the 1893 issue. While both are similar in appearance, the 1892 half dollar tends to be slightly more valuable due to its lower mintage. These coins were sold to raise funds for the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.
