1925 Stone Mountain+1893 Columbian Silver Commemorative Half Dollars XF-AU

Description: The 1925 Stone Mountain commemorative features the iconic, larger-than-life monument that was carved into the face of Stone Mountain in northern Georgia depicting Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis and rebel generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. More than 1.3 million coins were distributed, making it the second most-widely distributed classic commemorative half dollar following the 1893 Columbian half dollar. Sold for $1 each and promoted by the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association, the Stone Mountain half dollar was designed by Gutzon Borglum. Following the issuance of the 1892 Columbian Exposition half dollar, the first United States commemorative coin, the US Mint released a second run of Columbian halves in 1893. While the World's Columbian Exposition was intended to open in 1892 to honor the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' transatlantic expedition in 1492, the event did not kick off until 1893. The United States Mint sold the 1893 Columbian half dollars at the fair for $1 each, and the popular coins were sold in huge numbers of more than 1.5 million.The Columbian Exposition half dollars were designed by Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. Though seeing a large mintage, the 1893 Columbian half dollar was widely distributed, many did not wind up in proper coin collections but rather were squirreled away in change jars and boxes and eventually spent.
