Technically there was a small markup. From what I understand, although there is supposed to be .7230 ozt of silver in 10 dimes, most shops only consider them to have .7150 because of wear and tear. So you can say that I paid a small markup if you base it on that, but otherwise, yeah, it was a great deal. And I was surprised at the condition of them as well.

I feel like they put more time and creativity into designing older coins. I'm with you there on thinking that they looked cooler back in the day. I wonder if the people then thought the same thing, that the even older coins were the cool ones. Hmm.

Thanks for stopping by!
