To me this is one coin everyone should have in their collection (I have owned a number of them over the years) and that coin has some beautiful toning.

I am not much a fan of toned coins, so many fake paint jobs out there.
but this coin has great eye apeal. Over all a very nice addition
to your commem collection.

Very nice pair of commemoratives from the World's Columbian Exposition. Your Columbian half certainly appears to have spent a good amount of time in a sulfur-containing cardboard album page -- its colorful rim toning really makes the central devices pop! It's a very attractive coin.

Gorgeous pair! Would be cool if PCGS or NGC would slab them together in a set. NICE!

Very nice toned pair indeed.

IMHO the Isabella would not grade at a TPG ... your photos show what I believe to be an old wipe on the surfaces.

Lovely to look at ... Thanks for the photos.

Now that first coin I would definitely agree is a very good MS-64. That is how I would expect a MS Columbian half to look
