1893 Colombian Half Dollar

The Columbian half dollar is a coin issued by the Bureau of the Mint in 1892 and 1893. The first traditional United States commemorative coin, it was issued both to raise funds for the 1893 World's World's Columbian Exposition and to mark the quadricentennial of the first voyage to the Americas of Christopher Columbus, whose portrait it bears. The Columbian half dollar was the first American coin to depict a historical person.

The coin stems from the desire of the Columbian Exposition's organizers to gain federal money to complete construction of the fair. Congress granted an appropriation, and allowed it to be in the form of commemorative half dollars, which legislators and organizers believed could be sold at a premium. Fair official James Ellsworth wanted the new coin to be based on a 16th-century painting he owned by Lorenzo Lotto, reputedly of Columbus, and pushed for this through the design process. When initial sketches by Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber proved unsatisfactory, fair organizers turned to a design by artist Olin Levi Warner, which after modification by Barber and his assistant, George T. Morgan, was struck by the Mint.

Some 5,000,000 half dollars were struck, far beyond the actual demand, and half of them were melted. The appropriation did not cure the fair's financial woes, as fewer than 400,000 were sold at the premium price, and some 2,000,000 were released into circulation, where they remained as late as the 1950s. The pieces can be purchased in circulated condition for less than $20; coins in near-pristine state sell for about $1,000, far less than the $10,000 the makers of the Remington Typewriter paid as a publicity stunt in 1892 for the first specimen struck.

Amores y semiodios
Tengo la piel del cuerpo seca y la de la cara es mixta con tendencia al acné. Decidí probar estos protectores solares, ya que uso productos que dejan mi piel fotosensible. Probé el protector solar corporal y me gustó. Tiene una consistencia bastante líquida, pero se esparce muy fácil. Se demora un poco para absorber, no deja una sensación pegajosa ni grasosa, pero se siente un poco pesado por un ratito. Inicialmente deja un olor algo fuerte e incómodo, que en un par de minutos desaparece. No me expongo directamente a la luz del sol casi nunca, pero no he notado ningún tipo de quemadura y oscurecimiento de la piel, por lo que creo que cumple con la protección solar. En general, me gustó el producto. Otra historia es el protector solar facial. Tiene una consistencia tipo crema, se esparce fácil, no deja residuo blanco, no deja sensación grasosa o pesada. Se absorbe rápido. Pero luego de un par de usos, me brotó la piel del rostro. En cambio, a mi esposo que tiene piel seca en su carita, le ha servido mucho. No le ha generado ningún tipo de reacción adversa y su piel lo aceptó desde el primer momento. Luego de una semana de uso, no tiene ninguna queja al respecto. En fin. Los productos son bastante buenos, pero yo, con mi tipo de piel, no usaría el protector solar facial.

So far we're loving it
Started using this about a month ago. The price for both was cheaper than just the face one at my local store so I decided to try them. I use it for me kids as well as myself and so far it's worked great. It doesn't have an overwhelming smell and doesn't leave a greasy film like some others. My kids used it and then we're outside swimming for about 2.5 hours. They got some color on their faces but we didn't reapply so I wasn't surprised. I was outside during that time too and didn't burn at all (I wasn't swimming) where I had applied it. So far I love it and will continue using.
