Never thought I'd find one of these!!!
Ihe been busy so I haven't been able to post until now but last Wednesday I went through my coins I had gotten the day before and in one of my boxes I found the first ever commemorative half dollar the U.S. ever made. A columbian exposition commemorative from 1892. I still can't believe I was able to pull one of these babies out of a box. Although when I first saw it I thought it was a foreign coin until I turned it over and saw the reverse and my mouth dropped. All to cool. Here is a website on the history of the coin. Read it if you get a chance.
