Just got this last week for $140, did I pay too much?

Thanks.

    I don't think so. It looks like interesting group, and you got some silver too.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Looks like a good deal. That large Washington medal would now be very costly if purchased from the mint. The "legalized" medals will probably prove popular. Plenty of additional silver as well.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I would say you did well to get that entire lot for that price. Some nice ones there. Cheers, RickO

    Somebody probably paid that in grading fees on this group

    Thanks for the comments. It also came with a USMint White House medal that I didn't know fell from my desk when I was taking pictures. Great seller from eBay, it came well packed in a Jack Daniels tin. Supposed to be a total of 8 coins/medal combined but he sent me 2 extra medals (total 10) plus the OGP/COA from Washington Silver medal that I was not expecting.

    I think it's a cool set for that price

    Nice set, and timely since George Washington's 290th birthday is tomorrow.
