What does everyone think, this is my first silver purchase of any kind.. I looked at the melt value and with shipping I paid 23.02 and melt value right now is 21.28... Not sure that they would pass as MS but either way I think its a decent purchase! Opinions would be awesome! Pictures are not the greatest!

Top one might be MS bottom two look PL from the mirrors they show. No worries, you did fine.

Correction, I keep forgetting 1967 wasn't .80. Still the coin value is roughly 10 bucks each on the wolves in PL65.

1967 is still 80% in the larger coins, only the 10c and 25c have the possibility of 50% silver content. Looks like a good buy to me. 1967's are still some of the best looking coins the mint ever pumped out, in my opinion.

Nice purchase.

I'm a huge fan of the 80% silver coins, especially the halves and dollars, and you can still find them close to melt value. They are a nice way to accumulate some real money and have a nice history behind them as well.

The total mintage of silver dollars was only around 55 million and who knows how many have been melted down since.

Received the coins in the mail yesterday, the dollar does say cleaned on it which wasn't in the description but none the less love the looks of them!

Ok here they are.. Finally I've figured out how to take decent pictures of coins too woohooo.. Still have some work to do but grades if possible? It sure looks like someone took a brush to the dollar.. I have noticed a few rim nicks on the 50 cent pieces so I do not think they are PL's.. But I may be wrong
