Bought 2 1978 s dcam gem bu uncirculated  for 2 bucks each. Haven't recieved them yet. Think I got hurt on the deal?

Depends on what the denomination is.

When you say "dcam," do you mean uncirculated coins with a deep mirror prooflike surface,  or are these deep cameo proof coins?

[Tridmn]

Quarter  uncirculated. They only had a basic pic up for what I was getting.

Does that help clear things up?

So, they are proof coins, and not uncirculated.

There were no uncirculated coins made in San Francisco in 1978, only proofs, so that was why I was asking.

Sorry if it takes me a little time to reply. Working with 1 hand fell the other night and pain is horrible

At 2 bucks apiece with free shipping, I don't think you did bad, since that is about what they are selling for on Ebay, but I am not crazy about a site that markets '78 proof quarters as "rare-antique," since they are neither. With a mintage of over 3 million, and none being lost to the melting pot, they are certainly not remotely "rare," and I also don't believe something from 1978 can be considered "antique" in anyone's book. Calling them "un-circulated" is also not accurate, since there is a difference between proof and uncirculated coins.

Sorry to hear about your hand.
