Brief value breakdown
1976 silver proof-12.00
2000-2001-proof sets 10.00
other proof sets 4.00 each
2 cent piece -5.00
wheaties-.03 each everything else at face---About 90.00 or so at face value

So far, I can't lose...between face value and loose proofs, I think I've done well so far

FACE VALUE?! Holy smokes !

I'd say you got a great deal there. I'd love to find something like that too. Please keep us posted on what you find.

Nice score - can't understand why a dealer would sell it all at face. Strange way to make money. Your gain. Did he actually take face value for the two center?

the 2 cent piece was 5.00
If he asked for a bit more on a few pieces, I didn't squawk about it.
I might just go look to see if He is there again next week.
Even still..His prices were good enough, I should have bought everything he had (ran out of cash though.)
Oh well

At first I thought you even got the proof sets at face. Still at good prices though.

Even the cost of supplies would add up considering you got folders, boxes, air tites, and tubes.

The SBAs look higher grade than you would normally get from Littleton. They usually only put MS60 coins in those holders. Nice 60 small dates too.

Update time
Having limited time to search (hurricane 2yr old in full force)
I seperated nickels from pennies and filled in the dansco penny book with what I found as well as what was already in the book. (I aldo added 5 or 6 from my own collection)
The nickel and dime books are as found. I'm thinking thst anything that doesn't go into my books, gets tossed back into circulation (depending on what it is)
