I just bought eight 1964 Kennedy halves, Ten 1965-1969, and 20 pre-1965 Roosevelt dimes from my buddy tonight for $190. Seem like an honest fair deal? |

I can only speak of the silver value. The coins listed have a silver spot value of $185

What's $5 between buddys. I agree that it sounds fair. There may be some coins were a little more due to quality.  |

yeah, 5 bucks is nothing between buddy's. A couple of the dimes are definitely in MS condition. I think one of the halves is a proof, but it is a bit beat up.. He just got the coins as a late inheritance, and didn't have any interest in them, so rather than be all sketchy, and try to snatch them up for nothing, I figured I would pay him a fair price for them. He did keep two 90% halves that appear to definitely be in MS condition though. I really wanted those ones. :)

Yes fair deal. You paid a little over spot which is much better than your buddy would have received if he sold to a coin shop. If your buddy sold on ebay he may have grossed more but ebay and Paypal fees take a good chunk off of that plus he has to go through the hassle of shipping it. I say it's a fair deal for both of you. |

 Absolutely! Now go back and work on him for the others!  That's what friends are for! Just find something that he is interested in to trade.  |

Sounds fair. As friends neither one you should want to take advantage of each other. Now if there were any coins in MS grade you definitely got a good deal.

My guess would be since it was an inheritence, they wanted to keep a little something to remember the person by. Or they were shiney, and people like shiney things.
Nice pickups btw.
