Columbia Exposition Half Dollar from Auction

[Vdubguy]

Hello Everyone,

I picked this up this evening at an auction for $6.00. I'm pretty sure that's a killer deal for this. It was listed on the auction sheet as "First Commem Coin & Stamp 1892 & 1893". I knew it had to be a Columbus Expo, so I bid, and won.

I had a couple questions about this set. What would you grade this coin? It seems to be in pretty nice shape, but I'm no expert. What would the stamp be worth? I can't seem to find much info on the items as a set.

I collect coins through coin roll hunting and have never bought a coin for more than face value until now. This seemed way too good of deal to pass up. And it's my first silver commemorative!

Thanks for looking,

Vdubguy

I'd put that as XF45 or AU 50. Buying that for melt? Sure thing.

Being from Chicago I started collecting these coins and bought quite a few from ebay paying between $10-$16 per coin. The condition looks really good. No idea about the stamp, but as a set I'd pay $20 so you made a good buy!

Yeah I think I paid $13 over 2 years ago for mine in ebay.
