You overpaid by around 6 dollars. You should have received an additional Franklin half.

No need to worry if you pay a few bucks extra here and there, all that matters is that you are happy with your purchase.

If you have an LCS you may want to check them out for better deals, but not bad overall. Older bills are cool even in that condition.

I didn't even know you could buy coins on facebook. I never use facebook so didn't know. I'm no paper money expert but doesn't the date followed by a letter indicate how many times it has been redone. For example this bill says 1960d. Would that mean there was an a, b, c with that same serial number previously? Just wondering.
I do think those coins are an OK deal.

The series is 1950D, not 1960D. There are also 1950, 1950A, 1950B, 1950C, and 1950E $10s as well, but they did not use the same SN

Don't worry about a couple bucks here or there. If you like it that's all that matters. You're gonna lose interest very quickly if you sit there and worry about whether you could have paid a few cents for a couple dollars less for something. You did just fine.


I agree. Good point Basebal21. You did fine.

Probably best you post new coins in new threads, and individual coins with any questions you have.

I agree. Unless you plan on exclusively buying Franklin half dollars on Facebook.
