Pickups at the Coin Shop

I went to the coin shop yesterday and I held myself to spending only three dollars so I was proud of myself. The stuff there's pretty overpriced usually, so I thought I did pretty good on these. Now I know that I cant scan proofs until I get all the dust off the 2x2s. I know it is a terrible picture of the lincoln so I apologize for that. How mush would you pay for them?

Before I tell you how much I paid for these, how mush would you pay for them?
My guess: three dollars.

Well since you told us you only paid $3 it makes guessing easy. 3 bucks is right in my opinion. I think I paid $1.50 for my proof 62 lincoln.
