Is $3 each decent for buying 1932-1964 circulated Washington Quarters?

I was at a NY coin shop and bought 15 quarters + tax came to $48.60.
Today, Coinflation says melt is $44.79.

I picked about 5 AU/BU from the 60's and the rest were circulated 30's and early 40's with mint marks. I only had $50 on me. :'(

They had an ammo container with a few hundred.
I had a great time quickly looking through them but unless I was to get lucky with a variety or great date/mm, it's just bullion I suppose.

I was wondering if I should go back and grab a large batch at that price?

I never venture over here but probably should pay attention a little more.

Edit: for clarity.

    $3.00 ea. = $12xFV = $120/roll.......I think you did well for a small purchase.

    My closest LCS is selling these at 14x face, so you beat that.

    $3 each is fair. Get all you want and roll them up. Avoid slicks and very well worn coins. Not many keys in the Washington series, but if you find a 32 d or s grab it. There are some double dies, but the dealer probably will not be patient enough to allow you to search for them.

    I went back and picked out a rolls worth.
    I did go for the AU/BU for the most part
    I pulled a Proof or two as well so I allowed a couple of older dates just for fun.
    Still $3 each.

    Good deal considering it included tax

    Just over melt.

    Buying More is up to you. This close to melt is a stack-no-stack decision

    12x is a good rate. Get BU ones at 12x and you got yourself something you might want to keep for while (that's what I try to hang on to)

    You did good considering you can get au/bu specimens.
