    Actually got these for just a shade under $20. Feel pretty good about the deal. Not much over melt and got some slightly better dates. Nothing earth shattering but I enjoy rooting these out of the bin of misfit mercury's.... The '09-D is a slightly better date Barber (less than 1M mintage). The '14-D is slight nicer than I normally find in the melt bucket.

    Thanks for looking.

    Awesome. They remind me of the quality we would get in change in the late 40's and into the 50's. Those are the coins I have in my collection. Great dive into the bucket.

    Very nice especially for the price. Silver is at $15.32 and a dime contains .07234 ounces of silver. Melt value for one dime would be $1.108 so multiply that by 16 coins and melt would be $17.728. You got a great deal! :)

    A couple of them may have been cleaned and a couple may only be worth melt,
    but most of them are worth over melt. Good deal there.

    A lot of them are cleaned or have some dings but for less than 10% over melt I feel pretty good. Not going to get rich but having fun
