Paying 3 cents each isn't bad. NOthing special in there, but the S's are nice to find. I'd say you dia bout breakeven. And now you can keep them and own some wheats. :-)

No offense, but $1.50 divided by .50 = .03 per coin. I guess the other thought would be that you only paid a .02 premium per coin. Not bad as long as they are in good shape. These type coins will become harder to find in the years ahead and who knows what could happen if/when the Gov't legalized the melting of copper coinage and the price of copper continues it's overall upward trend. HH all.

You paid $1.50 per roll. Each roll is $0.50. Dude, no matter how you calculate that, it is 3 cents per coin. two cents per coin would be $1.00.

True? :-)

Enjoy the good coins. :-) But the 1969 S and the 1970 S are not worth more than about 1.2 cents per coin.

1970 S small dates are worth big $$$.
Check them out and see if you have one in that roll.

ya, it would be .03 cents each...oh well, not a problem, and still a very nice score, save 'em in the wrappers and they can only grow in value! :icon_thumleft:
