From what I see in that picture you made an awesome purchase. They certainly do not look like melt value coins.

You did well. Silver dollars at 10x face value is very good. Congrats!

you should hang your head in shame for robbing that poor misguided seller. $11 for Morgans, under $4 for Bens & Walkers? I will now bow to your skill in negotiation_____SUPER SCORE. now go check book value by condition, year and MM.

I always look at the silver value on coinflation.com, as it's quick and easy. Today silver dollars are at $11 and halves are at $5.14.
So you paid melt for the dollars, that's good, as those usually go for a premium most places unless they're trashed. Those look like earlier date Morgans in decent shape, so a good deal.
The 35 halves, if all 90%, would be $180 in melt, so if you got them for $120, that was a very good price.
That said, silver has been dropping slowly, so a good deal today may not be such a good deal next year. The important thing is that you're happy with your coins and the price you paid. If I were in your shoes, I'd be happy with that purchase.
Now tell us where you got them, so I can go and buy some!

Yes it's a great deal I would buy them all day at 11 dollars each. And 4 for the half dollars score.

Excellent deal. Those Morgan's alone were a great deal at the price. Even at silver spot, they are going for $ 20.00 - $ 22.00 apiece.
