The two 68 Canadians are worth about $2.69 each, the others $4.31. You got gypped a little bit, but it's too late to do anything about it now. No one is going to trade you straight across for slicks. Just hold onto them and sell them at the end of April, they'll be worth far more then than now, and will enable you to "take profits" on a small portion of your hoard if you've already designated coins you wish to get rid of.
I don't really care about getting ripped off for this amount. I don't really consider it a rip-off anyway. If it had been 10%, or a large number like that, then sure. But twenty standing quarters and 8 canadians is pretty trivial. You wouldn't be too upset if you bought a 0.999 bar and found out it was actually 0.997 would you? That's an equivalent scenario(actually slightly worse than my scenario).
