1892-1893 Chicago Columbus Half Dollar Silver Coin Ring

This ring is made with an authentic silver half dollar from 1892-1893. The coin was issued as America's first commemorative coin! In 1892 a 400 year celebration of Columbus was held in Chicago as a major national convention. As a way to raise funds, managers of the Columbus Convention convinced U.S. Mints to design and produce a commemorative coin sold for $1 to the public as collector coins. 

5 Million coins were minted between 1892-1893 and the project was a dismal failure. Half the coins were melted down, almost half were released into normal circulation, and a small portion were actually sold. These coins make for excellent rings also! Wear a piece of history! Comes in various sizes and styles.
