Pretty toned Columbian Exposition Half

I was fortunate to be able to pick this coin up in the last week. The toning is gorgeous and it's in an old NGC no line "fatty" as a bonus. I wasn't looking for one but couldn't resist it when it came up for sale. Feel free to post anything else relevant or any classic commems.

That's a stunner.

 

Wow, what a beautiful coin!

 

Wow!

 

I am not usually a toned coin guy, but I find that one to be very attractive.

 

Thanks guys! I was very excited to be able to pick it up.

 

Wow, what a fantastic piece! One wonders what it might bring for a market grade nowadays.

 

Yeah, hard to tell. I'd say it's probably accurately graded, but could also see a 65.

 

I know that feeling, I couldn't resist mine when i saw it The toning on yours is absolutely fantastic...

 

This is my toned Columbian:

 

Gots this one, though I doubt it would grade.

 

Here's mine (old crappy photos), probably pulled from circulation by my grandparents. They lived in Chicago most of their lives at least since the 1910s and there were probably a lot of these still floating around. Sales was such a flop that eventually they dumped 2 million of them into circulation.
