Thursday's 6 Half Dollar Boxes - Another Columbian Exposition

Was supposed to be 12 boxes but 1 of my orders didn't come in. I'm not overly upset as I'm pretty sure it would have been more skunky stuff like I got yesterday. Box #2 made my night. This is the 3rd Columbian Exposition half I've found, the 2nd 1893 - the other is an 1892.

*UPDATE* Added a pic of the Columbian Exposition. The one I just found is the top one, the bottom two I found earlier this year on the same day in boxes from two different banks. This new one is easily in better shape than the original 1893 I had.


Half Dollars:
$500 boxes

Box 1
2x 40%

Box 2
1x 1893 Columbian Exposition
2x WLH (1917 & 1937)
3x Franklin

Box 3

8x 40%

Box 4
5x 40%

You had 20 keepers without box 2. But box 2 turned a good night into a great night.

Still waiting for my first Expo.

Nice finds!
I would give anything to have even one of those boxes...currently I'm on a 20-box skunk streak.
Jeez, this hobby is difficult at times. I've never had this long of a bad streak
How do the rest of you handle it?? Cuz I'm going crazy and it's affecting my attitude!
