My 1893 Isabella Quarter or Columbian Exposition Quarter





It's graded AU50 by ANACS in the early certification days. I personally think it is undergraded by todays standards but I bought the coin, not the holder.



Designed by by Bureau of the Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber and is the second United States commemorative coin and struck in 1893. Congress authorized the piece at the request of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition. The quarter depicts the Spanish queen Isabella I of Castile on the obverse, who sponsored Columbus's voyages to the New World. On the reverse, a kneeling woman with distaff and spindle, symbolizes women's industry.
It is the only U.S. commemorative of that denomination that was not intended for circulation.

The 1892 and 1893 dated Columbian Exposition Half Dollars feature Christopher Columbus on the obverse and the Santa Maria on the reverse and was far more popular at The Columbian Exposition than the Isabella quarter.
The reason was because the price was the same for the Isabella Quarter as the Columbian half dollar at $1.00 per coin.
While the maximum mintage of 40,000 was struck, 15,809 were returned to the mint and melted, for a net total mintage of 24,191.
Other remaining, unsold quarters were bought up at face value and many eventually entered circulation.

Johnny, they all appear to have been messed with, unfortunately. How'd you acquire them and/or what did you pay/what were they suggested as? Just trying to help.
