I recently got a roll of Walking Liberty halves from MBarr for $197. Got some nice dates like the 1934-D, 1934-S, 1935-S, 1938, and 1939-D, as well as a worn slick one that I believe was a 1920, but I got at least two that were cleaned, one of which was very obviously so. MBarr offered me a $6 refund.

A roll of Walkers for $197 is about the going rate these days and always fun to obtain. But, in the second sentence, you said you got some nice dates and then go on to mention a sick and a couple of cleaned coins. Wouldn't this range of dates/conditions be expected in a roll of junk silver? Just curious why a partial refund was issued?

I got a roll of Washington quarters for a little over 19X a couple of weeks ago. The older the year, the worse they got, but I did get a couple of '64s in extremely nice condition.

I only bought the lot for free shipping to get an ASE at spot from a distributor.

Got 17 1971 S uncirculated 40% Ike's for $8 a piece, and 2 modern commems for $20 each. Neither of which are quite junk silver but they were kind of sold as such.

@Khromtau -

I picked up a few commem dollars last week at 20 each as well.

Funny because the issue price was 19.95 on these 30 years ago :)

If nothing else, they'll always be worth melt

For the commems? A constitution bicentennial and a 1984 LA XXIII Olympiad. The Ike's are well, Ike's.

Dowhat - you paid a fair price given the premiums these days. Last week - with spot hovering right on $23 - a guy I know offered me common date circulated 90% dimes at 22x each or by the roll. I said "no thanks". I never go over spot on 90% so I was expecting 16 or 17x. He said "hey, that's the going rate". I said "ok keep going".

Got $10 face Franklin halves for $192.00 ebay last week from Mbarr, they sent me a reduced offer. Descent price considering ebay and PayPal fees. They arrived today, like them.
