Early Commemoratives
	1892 50C	MS65	NGC 4352432016	Gem	$325	New August 26! Columbian Exposition, Multi-Color Toning, Typical Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels. The Columbian Exposition half dollar remains as one of the most popular U.S. early commemoratives as the first true commemorative struck at the Philadelphia Mint during 1892 and 1893. 950,000 1892 dated pieces were struck with survivors found in a wide range of conditions. This well preserved survivor exhibits frosted luster and intermixed coloration. The obverse is mostly pastel blue, light green, and rose while the reverse has all rainbow shades. Under angled lighting, the cartwheels are vibrant and pleasing. Eye appeal and originality should be readily evidence from the GFRC images. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1892 50C	MS64	PCGS 39486771	Gem	$265	New August 22! Columbian Exposition, Gorgeous Toning, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels. The Columbian Exposition half dollar remains as one of the most popular U.S. early commemoratives as the first true commemorative struck at the Philadelphia Mint during 1892 and 1893. 950,000 1892 dated pieces were struck with survivors found in a wide range of conditions. This gorgeous example finds itself on the well preserved end of the spectrum with its frosty luster and intermixed obverse rainbow toning. Under angled lighting, the cartwheels are vibrant and pleasing. Light reverse gold is surrounded by colors extending from the obverse. One can always purchase a run of the mill Columbian for not much money. This offering comes with a premium due to the superb eye appeal. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1925 50C	MS66	NGC 190006002	Gem	$1500	Norse Medal, Thick Silver Edition, Superb Gem, CAC Approval. The 1925 Norse-American Medal commemorated the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the Norwegian ship Restauration in America. 33,750 thick medals and 6,000 silver thin medals were issued aong with 100 medals in gold. The Norse issue appeals to both early silver commemorative collectors and those who pursue U.S issued medals. Few Norse medals have been CAC approved, especially at the top of the Mint State grade. A truly special numismatic item that would be an excellent conversation piece. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.
	1927 50C	MS63	PCGS 35744125	Choice	$260	Vermont Sesquicentennial, Near Gem Original, Steely Cartwheels, Substantial Eye Appeal. Net distribution of 28,142 as 11,892 were melted. Struck in very high relief as compared to other early silver commemoratives. Survivors all show excellent detail but the high relief brought about friction on Ira Allen's cheek. This MS63 graded example offers exceptional steely luster and is so pleasing. Cartwheels are vibrant. Faint speckled ebony toning is concentrated at the peripheries. Near gem for the assigned grade level. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1937 50C	MS63	PCGS OGH 4545898	Gem	$225	Boone Bicentennial, Extensive Mint Bloom, Eye Appeal of Higher Grade, Pikes Peak Collection. Creamy frosted mint bloom radiates off this 1937 Boone half dollar commemorative. First issued during 1934 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Daniel Boone. A few ticks on the portrait are consistent with the certified grade though eye appeal is much higher. Housed in PCG Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green label holder with CAC approval.
	1946 50C	MS64	PCGS 39520057	Choice	$45	New August 26! Booker T. Washington, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Near-Gem. A nice and frosty Booker T. Washington commemorative for consideration. GFRC images accurately capture the visual characteristics. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1952 50C	MS62	NGC 3703927010	Choice	$45	Washington-Carver Commemorative, Golden Rose-Blue Colors, Brilliant Frosted Luster.
