Probably paid exactly what it's worth. Not a good move for a dealer, but hey, I liked it and it spoke to me.
Sorry to be so late to the party but I apparently missed this tag earlier....check here, John: http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/major_100_pricing.htm Agreed@$100 in XF but lists at $215 in AU50. You did fine overall...
Looks like AU50 on this site is a considerable jump from what the red book states. I think I’ll start a thread for what are the best resources to get coin values. Based on the red book I would have said $100 too because XF40 was $60 and AU50 was $140.
