1893 Columbian PCGS MS-65. 1893 Columbian PCGS MS-65.
Lot Title: 1893 Columbian PCGS MS-65.
Description: An electric-blue and cinnamon-magenta bolt of toning forms an extensive crescent of vivid rainbow color in front of Columbus' portrait and elevates the already-excellent eye-appeal well above the average even for a gem grade. Similarly, the reverse benefits from lovely, though not quite complete rim tone. Both sides show the pleasing effects of a razor-sharp strike, with the ribbing in the ship sails coming very close to perfect definition. (PCGS# 009297)
Low Estimate: $400.00

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
1051The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$250.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-64 PL (no line).
Hands-down, this Columbian faces up like a proof, with definite widespread reflectivity in the fields, surrounding lightly textured devices. Of course, sharpness falls just shy of what a true proof...
1103The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$240.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-65.
Substantial prooflike effect is achieved on both sides by the frosted motifs that emerge from the nearly mirrored fields. Just a dash of tan-gold toning is evident on the rims.
1243The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$190.00
1893 Columbian NGC MS-64 and 1893 Columbian PCGS MS-62.
These two Columbian half dollars contrast starkly with each other. One is certified in an NGC slab as grading MS-64 and features antique-bronze and platinum toning over lustrous fields with...
1244The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$800.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-66.
Interplay of peach, lime green, and raspberry luminescence adds enormous appeal to this otherwise typical Columbian commemorative. The colors sweep across two-thirds of the obverse margins in a...
1139The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$130.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-64.
This example, from the second year of production for the first United States Commemorative coin issue, is adorned in vivid hues of carmine and blue. A few meager ticks and flecks are obscured by its...
1180The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$120.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-64.
Attractive toning covers this entire coin. It looks as though there is a minor line in the hair on the obverse.
1181The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$475.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-64 PL.
Prooflike Commemoratives have always been a fan favorite among serious collectors. The surfaces shown with this winner are super reflective, and the fields are needle sharp. There is not one hint of...
1182The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$525.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-65.
Highly reflective fields lie beneath attractive original mint bloom. Hues of russet, rose, and yellow can be observed on both the obverse and reverse. Why this coin wasn't designated prooflike is a...
1531The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$200.00
1893 Columbian. NGC MS-62 PL.
You just don’t see many prooflike Commemorative Half Dollars. This specimen is housed in an old NGC holder. It has highly reflective fields and a strong strike.
