    I got these at a local Jewelry and Coin Exchange. The halves were 19x face, so only a little above spot, and the Peace was $25, (Although it may only be a filler, its the scarcest coin in the set, so i thought it was a steal).

    If you are not familiar with Coinflation.com you should check it out.

    Based on silver spot at $22.24/oz current melt value of a 90% half dollar is $8.04 so two half dollars would be worth $16.08. You paid $19.
    Current melt value of a silver dollar is $17.20. You paid $25.

    It may not be a barn-burner of a deal but probably a fair price.

    "Scarcest coin in the set"? Are you sure you aren't overlooking an S mintmark? I can't be sure from the photos, but it looks like there's something there.

    That Barber half looks like a nice G+, and obverse-mint Walkers are always worth a bit of a premium. I would've snatched up both of those at the price, and I might have grabbed the Peace as well -- from what I've seen, they're still a bit hard to get for $25 or less, regardless of the moment's "melt value".

    The Walker alone should bring at least $15 on eBay... here's a recent one in lower grade that sold for $18 plus:

    The Barber about the same:

    The Peace dollar is about a push, but overall, the three coins were a decent deal.
