1992 Columbus 2pc Proof Set

Christopher Columbus was one of the world's most famous explorers, and the man who discovered the land that would eventually grow to become the United States of America. In honor of his achievements he has been immortalized in many ways: from half dollars, to holiday's and even parades! There is one special United States Mint release honoring him that many forget about...the rare silver pair released in 1992! And we just found a bunch of them!

In honor of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America, the United States Mint issued two special issue proof coins: a stunning proof half dollar and 90% silver dollar! That's right! Columbus had his very own silver dollar...talk about a lasting legacy!
