Just completed a 2 year journey putting together the last years of Barber/Morgan's 1892-1892 Columbia expedition in silver halves. Then the 1916 1917 McKinley gold dollars to the 1915-s 2.50 gold Panama. Question 1 - Does anyone have or seen 1892/93 proof or gold coin? Working on a Barber set to his death in 1917 when Morgan took over as Chief 1917-1925 when he died and Sinnock took over. Just a testament to two of best engravers of all times. The Barber set: I have 3 of 4 1904 Lewis and Clark gold dollar/ 1905 Lewis and Clark gold dollar 1903 LA Purchase and still need the Jefferson but in MS. 3 of the above are out for grading when complete I'll post. Thank-You for your thoughts and any helpful/pertinent information.
Gotta have/must see......... Never seen any proof 'Columbians' but I have heard tell that they are out there........
TY same here all I see is .999 fine silver proof commentative and talk of 100 gold coins? Thanks Green18
There are proof Columbian halves. They are pricey though, even in PR63 (lowest known grade). https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1892-50c-columbian/9295
Thanks Yolo I have seen on HA and been chasing but darn near impossible where'd the 100 gold one's go? Thank-you for the link This set drive's me nuts and broke!
Update to the Morgan/Barber set(7 coins) that has now expanded Barber set to death also (6coins). They are as follows 1892&3 Columbian expo silver half,1915s pan-pac 1/2, dollar and 2 1/2 dollar ( 1 silver/2 gold) 1916 & 17 McKinley gold dollars The Barbers are 1893 Isabella quarter, 1900 Lafayette dollar, 2- 1903 Gold LA purchase and lastly the 1904&5 Lewis and Clark gold dollars. Cracking today to send to PCGS is the Lafayette ICG AU 50 and the Pan-Pac 1/2 ICG MS62 When done the 13 coin set will all be PCGS regardless of grade up/down. I'll post sets in 3-4 weeks. Very happy and broke! FYI pages 296-299 in 2020 red book for all that want to check out till then Thanks DB
