I've seen 'em for much less though, but I suspect that that is without the ogp and coa.

 

Thats probably fine, even if its $2 over or something....

 

If it was REALLY in PERFECT condition (PF70), then I'd say you did FANTASTIC!
But even if it isn't, I'd say you did alright... I've seen them go higher in original packaging, and I've seen them go lower in original packaging

 

thanks green 18! guessing this one is a 68 or 69 grade. Guess if nothing else its worth 13 to 14 as scrap silver

 

Any dollar commemorative coin in MS condition for less than $20 is a good find. You did well.

 

Most of the time if you have to ask, you did.

 

I think you did fine. If you had shopped around, you might have been able to pick it up a little cheaper...but you did fine. I hope you enjoy your new coin.

 

If it's still original Mint packaged and hasn't been subjected to damage it's well worth what you paid. As a future silver bullion holding it's worth the 18 bucks. BUT the most important thing is, "Do you like it?".

Enjoy your new treasure.
