Was the Columbian Exposition half dollar sold at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair?
No, just at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They sold for $1 but apparently were not a very popular souvenir. Many remained unsold and over 2.5 million of them were destroyed (melted) by the mint. The companion Isabella quarter was also priced at $1, but only 24,214 were purchased. The remainder of these apparently were melted after the exposition.
