1893 Columbian with presentation box, as described

Lot Title:	1893 Columbian with presentation box, as described
Lot Number:	826
Description:	The K.C. Collection. The Walter M. Lowney Co. was a chocolate factory best remembered for its "Cherry Blossom" candy, a maraschino cherry and syrup surrounded by a mixture of coconut, peanuts and chocolate. The company was located in Boston, MA between 97 and 107 Pearl Street, and at some point, offered Columbian half-dollars ("COLUMBIAN SOUVENIR") in specially made presentation boxes. The purple cloth interior induced some extraordinary colors such that the included half-dollar displays neon teal, magenta-bronze, indigo and shades of forest green.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
