MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 11:30 am Coin #1 is a Washington-Carver Half from 1952 Coin #2 is a Booker T. Washington Half from 1946 Coin #3 is a Columbian Exposition Half from 1892 which was struck to raise funds for the exposition held in 1893 in Chicago. Value wise I have no idea, perhaps someone more versed in commemoratives can assist you with that. Report this Post to the Staff
Doug58s Pillar of the Community United States 899 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 11:40 am All 3 are silver (90%) and all are worth roughly $15 to $20 numistically... Those are 3 of the more commonly found commemortaives - I particularly like the Columbus (Columbian Expostion coin). Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12264 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 11:43 am The first coin is a Carver-Washington commemorative half-dollar; the coins were issued from 1951 through 1954. It is a common coin. Your example is in circulated condition and worth little more than its silver content. A coin dealer would likely offer you less than $10 for the coin (if they were interested in it for their inventory). The second coin is a Booker T. Washington commemorative, the coins were issued from 1946 through 1951. All of the comments made about the first coin apply here as well. Your last coin is the first US commemorative coin, it was issued to help fund the World's Columbian Exposition that was held in Chicago in 1893. It is a very common coin. Its value in circulated condition is $15 or less. Hope that helps! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
PennyPiggy Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 11:56 am The Columbus coin from the Chicago Columbian Exposition in Chicago has an interesting story behind it from the expo to the coins but you want the 1893 version because a lot of them were melted down. Not a fan of Columbus and not a fan of the expo, I keep it only for sentimental value. This site has an article on it. http://www.coincommunity.com/commem...f_dollar.asp Report this Post to the Staff

XF40 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 9:49 pm I always liked the German Commems, although as near as I can tell, they aren't worth much more than silver content either. I picked up a few some years back for a little over spot price. Still nice coins, though. Report this Post to the Staff
