These Never Get Old With Me/Columbian Halfs

The first commemorative my father ever showed me and it was a love affair at first sight.....trouble is he cleaned his with a bit of TarnX back in the day. My latest example, ain't, though. Loves Columbians and feel free to post yours......

Great shot!

 

I also like them. Especially the reverse. I've only got one and I found it CRH. Not nearly as pretty as yours thouh

 

Die cracks through the date and maybe lamination error to the immediate right on the obverse?

 

One of my favorites as well. Here's my only one for now:

 

Here's my CRH find.

 

Keep 'em comin' Bros........

I won this ticket to the expo from LordM

 

Nice coins! I still remember when a dealer I knew (now deceased) referred to the reverse design as the "ship with wheels!" It definitely looks like it when they're worn.

 

See you tomorrow, Ken

Danged looking forward to it Frank.

 

In this same vein, I bought some Australian pennies today and noticed some green on them, so I tried a soak in a sodium bica... sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and after a time I noticed the water had a slight blue tint...I never knew that baking soda would react with copper!!!

 

Needed one of these to get in.
