A little higher is correct. I would have tried to get them for $1.50 ea. Okay maybe a little conservation and you might get a little higher grade??? I guess if your happy than that's all that matters!!
The current silver melt value is $1.63 per Dime. The LCS/seller has to make some kind of profit. $2.00 each is a excellent price in which to purchase them.
To be fair he was paying $1.85 (well over spot) for dimes. I just don’t love it when the premium for physical silver is high relative to spot. But with spot being driven by paper silver I don’t know why I really care.
I think the dealer was a little on the low side so you got a great deal. At $2.00 each, I would have bought them.
Some of the reverses are toned as well while others are white with only hints of toning at the edges. I already put them in flips which make photos of toning basically impossible but they look good.
