I realize that technically this is a commemorative, but I think this is where it needs to be posted for grading opinions. While not quite worn down to lowball status, it's still a bit unusual to find one of these circulated to this degree.   Colligo ergo sum

It's certainly seen a great deal of circulation. This type is commonly found circulated, but not normally to this degree.

Was it circulated or a pocket piece? Does it matter?
Like Dustin6, it is the most worn out Columbian half I've ever seen.

VG8 (details) for an old cleaning ... this coin is far from the current lowball in the series. Not intending to steal the thread ... but you can find true PO01 images and discussion on this coin if you search the proper forum. 1893 Columbian Expo Half Dollar - PCGS PO01 This is a true lowball.

I'd say G-06, but it's a very cool coin! Love to see some worn commemoratives!

I've just come across another specimen to share, this one even more worn than my first, probably getting down to that true "lowball" range, albeit it may still not be quite so far gone as the example posted by nickelsearcher that was certified as P01 by PCGS.   Colligo ergo sum

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
