    Ah, the Columbian half...the very first coin I ever bought as a young coin collector back in the 60's. And it definitely wasn't MS condition! Thanks, as always Speg, for your vids... greatly appreciated! Take care, be safe and God bless!

    As a kid starting a coin collection, I got one of these from my Grandma. Her parents pulled it from circulation and passed it down to her, so it's definitely not in ms condition, but none-the-less, I plan to pass it on to my Grandkids.

      Cost £28 so I would think they are a bit dearer than the US.

    For younger collectors....those who are still in school writing papers. Think about researching any and / or all of them. If you have to write a paper for your music class, consider the 1936 Cincinnati half dollar. Realize your teacher will probably get a lot of papers on Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. This will be a new topic (probably a refreshing change at that) for them. They might just sit up and read that paper. THEN, think about submitting that paper to your local coin show as an exhibit. For Civil War ear history, try the "Battle of Gettysburg" again 1936. This is a very educational series. 😊😊

      @@mrsspegtacular6484 I've just never come across any slabbed expos. But even if I did I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't of picked one up. Only if the price was a deal. I have about 2 or 3 that are raw but could maybe get a low AU grade. For the most part I try to stay away from slabs unless it's something that I really like or could get at a good price or something that I know will appreciate in value over time

    Try and find the 1892 or 93 in "white" color and it will be a challenge. I was fortunate to find a white 92 coin in MS64 and would love to find a 93.
