This PCGS MS64 Kennedy with beautiful gold toning cost me $12.64. I guess nobody else saw it...

 

dang! you paid just above melt for a nice kennedy half! But I did better, I bought a 1993 90 % silver PF-65 SMS(special mint set) for 4 dollars.

 

nice.. I picked up a set of rosie dimes.. below s / about $8$ each close to half a set. 1946-64 they have some awesome toning

 

Sorry, its worth 20 dollars in the redbook in MS-63, not a special piece, and that redbook is retail.

 

1967 is a 40% silver issue - so its melt value was around $4.50 when I bought it. Still, it's not bad.

 

where @ gaj

 

Here is a decent place to start for online price guides. All these prices are retail, you can do better:

When did triple melt become just above?

 

that's a great find, best I did last week was $15 and $16 for a couple of raw '64s and $5.95 for a raw '68

 

Oh lol sorry I thought it was a 64 half. My bad.

 

Auntique store.

 

Hmm... Numismedia lists an MS62BN 1909 at $15.60. Nicer than any of my cents, for sure, but is that really a "steal"?

 

I always ad certification into the value.. because its a given cost in its value

 

That is true. but i wouldnt buy it for 22 dollars. 25, no. I hate ANACS slabs.

 

That makes sense, except that nobody else will do the same when they're buying from you.

 

I think you did just fine in your purchase. Most coin shops that I go to, use Greysheet, so let's get one of the dealers to post what price it says it should be sold for out here. The Redbook is nice for a good estimate, but is far from what is actually used in a lot of cases in my experience.

 

A $24 denarius...

Can we see a pic of the slab label?

 

dont you know the quote buy the coin, not the slab? A slab doesnt neccesarily make a coin worth more. It just gives a good protection, and a expert grade.
