Was this a good price?

I picked up a few rolls of 1963 P Roosevelt dimes.

They are uncirculated, white shiny, brilliant in every sense of the word.

The dealer and I broke open two rolls to verify that everything inside was as labeled, which it was.

 

For each roll, I have 48 perfectly BU silver dimes, and two moderately toned "end cap" coins with some slight wear from being at the end of the rolls. We put them in clear tubes, and I got them at $30 a roll (60 cents per dime).

 

Looking through some auctions, I see these going individually for up to a dollar or even more in some cases. I feel like I got a good deal...but I will defer to the experts, as this was the first time I ever bought Roosevelts. (I typically only buy mercs in the 10 cent silver category)

You got them for less than melt value. I think you did well.

looks good to me ... nice coins... maybe you got an FT in there or a few....

Junk silver dimes are about $27.50 a roll right now, so I'd say you did extremely well!

Darn! I was hoping for a Coin Vault customer post.
