Nice score - can't understand why a dealer would sell it all at face. Strange way to make money. Your gain. Did he actually take face value for the two center?

the 2 cent piece was 5.00
If he asked for a bit more on a few pieces, I didn't squawk about it.
I might just go look to see if He is there again next week.
Even still..His prices were good enough, I should have bought everything he had (ran out of cash though.)
Oh well

At first I thought you even got the proof sets at face. Still at good prices though.

Even the cost of supplies would add up considering you got folders, boxes, air tites, and tubes.

The SBAs look higher grade than you would normally get from Littleton. They usually only put MS60 coins in those holders. Nice 60 small dates too.

Update time
Having limited time to search (hurricane 2yr old in full force)
I seperated nickels from pennies and filled in the dansco penny book with what I found as well as what was already in the book. (I aldo added 5 or 6 from my own collection)
The nickel and dime books are as found. I'm thinking thst anything that doesn't go into my books, gets tossed back into circulation (depending on what it is)

So...I emptied the folders and filled in some missing spots in my other folders (completed one folder)
20 more spaces to fill in the 38-61 folder
Question now is what to do with the rest. of the loose from the folders.
They range from the 40s to the 80s
1- cash them in for face
2- hoard the 40s and 50s and dump the rest back into circulation
3- other-open for suggestions

Why not continue the sets since you have folders with some coins already populated. Can't have too many sets.

I'm thinking, that since I filled 11 more spaces toward the set and only need 9 more, I might just look to sell or trade the 40's and 50's to finish the set.
the 60's and higher will most likely be dumped back into circulation
