Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 05:15 am Nice It's a Columbian half dollar. If you didn't know, these were sold at the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition for $1 each. The leftovers were released to circulation (like yours.) These were also minted in 1892.

Afterwards they were sold for a while and finally dumped into circulation. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
