Circus ... These are commemorative half dollars, coins, legal tender, produced by the U.S. Mint. These coins are listed in the Red Book and other coin price guides. So-called halves are exonumia, being simply souvenirs from fairs or events. |

Not only that but the Columbian you have is the very first date coin in the Classic Silver Commemorative series and the Washington-Carver is one of the very last of the 50 types produced.

Your medals and tokens always fascinate me. I just noticed my LCS's bin of these last time I went. Labeled $5 each, are they worth that? Maybe next time I go I'll pick something and post it for you.

It depends on age and condition along with subject matter as to value. One good general wide coverage book is this one  It is only slightly behind on the prices. Since I only collect tokens and smaller modern medals, not coins. It will depend on what you are willing to pay, if the bin has a lot of car wash arcade, and general subject matter in them. they are usually under a dollar. |
