I payed $24 for this, did I pay to much?

Collect raw morgans, walkers, mercs, SLQ, barber q. Looking at getting into earlier date coins pre 1900s.

    Do you like it?

    Tougher date and gets expensive in higher grade. There is no global right answer. Some people will follow me and tell you that's too much. Some will say it's about right. Some will tell you that coin is nothing but glorified bullion.

    If you like it and that's an acceptable price point for you, just enjoy it.

    I like the buffed up look myself, it shows that it has been around the block a few times. Tough date and mint to find in higher grades without paying the big bucks.

    Yes, I liked it and the price was right to me. Like you said better condition much higher price.

    Looks good to me, shows character!

    This coin is better than what one commonly encounters in 'fill-in-the-hole' style albums, so you should always be able to resell it later to someone doing that kind of set. Some modest/ moderate profit likely. Obverse is better than the reverse.

    @bigtime36 I’d keep it if I had it for my album. My 16 doesn’t have that much date visible.

    Good deal for the price paid.
    I did get one in a bullion deal awhile back, but it was more worn than yours.

    $24, not bad at all.

    I picked this one up for $25 at a show last weekend.

    You did better. :)

    I got to plug that hole.

    Gotta fill them holes!

    Too much? No.

    Do you like it? Plan to flip it?

    Once our collecting knowledge grows, we will often find deals like this. Should you pounce? Maybe.

    I keep a list of Washington quarter dates I will buy from 90% bins regardless of condition.

    Your coin and price paid are reasonable. If you like it, other opinions do not matter. Enjoy your coin.... Cheers, RickO

    I picked up a nice 16 s awhile back from the bay for about the same with a BIN. I could definitely use a nice 16 d as well...
    Great pick up !!!
