Good pick up, but I think we still haven't sen the bottom. You might be able to get more low grade lower mintage silver. Just remember, it will still be decades before low grade lower mintage silver is worth a significant premium over melt. I would still have picked them up.

I should add, if I saw BU Washingtons, I would probably get those 1st, but I would have a tough time leaving those also. So I would end up spending more, not a bad thing is it?

That's insanely epic!

1939 S is definitely a decent date.

Third week in a row I've come up empty handed finding junk at the LCS :( and that would be at 14x if they had it in stock. Keep grabbing those finds!

The guy at my LCS wanted $1.50 per dime, $3.50-3.75? per quarter, and $9 per half when spot was $14.55-$14.60.

I bought $9 of dimes and, though I got a 1946-S album-filler, I still felt as if I overpaid ($1.50 for a then $1.05 dime).

Most, including my LCS charge 13x face usually.

1.50 for a dime isn't bad.

$9 for a half is pretty bad though, at 13x it'd be about $6.50

My local dealers junk silver bin (priced at melt) often contains AU-MS Washingtons. I don't know how much you paid but there are better deals to be had on "junk" silver since you can get these in higher grades.
