Did I get ripped off?

Not 1950-60's. All newer marbles. A fantasy bag, there are hundreds of different ones out there. I doubt that the bag was cellophane. Original packaged marbles in old cellophane bags are rare. Most of them are stiff and brittle and break like thin glass.  Plus Coke never packaged any marbles in a bottle hanger cellophane bag. Most of the Coke bagged marbles are not original. One key for original plastic bagged marbles, is the heat sealed seam down the center on the back side of the bag. If the plastic bag does not have this seam, be cautious. It is easy to make rust on the staples.

I was pretty sure after I had the marbles out of the bag that they weren't old.  Another thing I just noticed is that the hole in the label / hanger won't even fit over the neck of Coke bottle.  I'm still paying for a marble education.  Fortunately this wasn't an expensive lesson.  Ron, thanks for your help!
