I think it was if that matters

You paid pretty much melt, which is great considering the pawnshop markups I see

 

[boristhespider88]

I'd be happy with that.

you can't get good deals at pawn shops please stop spreading misinformation

square deal.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Morgan and Peace dollars are selling for a $4-5 premium each and the silver eagle can bring a couple bucks above melt as well, I think you did well.

Man I wish I could get a morgan or peace with only a $4-5 premium- most around me are like $9-10 above spot

I'd rather get it for face value but I guess if you're buying it then that's cool.

An update to my post where I congratulated you on your good deal:

I was offered a SUPER deal yesterday at a local pawn shop (which was having a sale on their coins by the way...)
$14.00 - for each 90% half
$7.00 - for each 90% quarter
$2.80 - for each 90% dime
$5.50 - for each 40% halves

$39 for normal ASEs
$42 for colorized ASEs
$41 for one that had a "REMEMBER 9/11" sticker on it, because it was "damaged" - and by damaged they didn't mean that it had a sticker over the coin, it was because the sticker was scratched

So, clearly, these good deals are all around! :P

[baddbluff]

I'm paying too much for 40s I you ask me - should be less than half than the 90s, right

 

[kaiser613]

dimes for 1.62

I would pay those prices if I could cherry pick coins I didn't have and if they were in decent condition.
