The Columbus half dollar was a commemorative coin celebrating the 400th anniversary of CC which took place in Chicago. It is also known as the Columbian exposition half dollar. This price varies from $200 to $650 in uncirculated grades to priceless (well over $10,000) in top proof grade where only 400 specimens were produced.
No, just at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They sold for $1 but apparently were not a very popular souvenir. Many remained unsold and over 2.5 million of them were destroyed (melted) by the mint. The companion Isabella quarter was also priced at $1, but only 24,214 were purchased. The remainder of these apparently were melted after the exposition.
The Colombian half dollar is a commemorative coin from 1893 it can be worth a lot depending on its mint state.
If you mean a Colombian Exposition half dollar? They were struck in 1892 & 1893 so a date is needed. Post new question.
It is 90% silver like circulation half dollars bearing that date.
