The 1892 Colombian Half Dollar pictured is the coin for sale.  It was among a collection of coins I inherited from my grandfather.  I have tried to depict the coin in the pictures as it appears.  It is in good shape.

To celebrate Columbus’ discovery and the exposition itself, a bill was passed on August 5, 1892 which authorized the coining of not more than 5,000,000 commemorative half dollars .  These coins were to be designed by sculptor U.S.J. Dunbar, who prepared a plaster model of the Columbus obverse based on a 1512 portrait painted by Lorenzo Lotto.  As he would so often whenever outside artists were commissioned to design coins and medals, the U. S. Mint’s Chief Engraver Charles Barber managed to derail the Dunbar train and secure the project for himself.
