And best of all… the oldest circulation coin I have ever found in the wild…a 1910 sterling silver dime nearly worn flat.

Wow 

May 7th coin hunt:
My oldest find…ever.

Today I went back to the same bank where I got the rolled coins that yielded 2 silver dimes.  I bought all of their remaining customer wrapped dime rolls totalling $95 and the teller added in one machine wrapped roll to round the total up to $100.

As expected, the machine wrapped roll contained brand new 2024 dimes and there were a few rolls that were short.

I accept short rolls as part of coin roll hunting but the finds from these rolls more than made up for the shortage!

Highlights include:
Two 5 pence coins from the UK
7 1968 nickel alloy dimes
8 US dimes
One really nice 1978 dime
And best of all…two silvers: a 1968 50% dime and the oldest circulation coin I have ever found in the wild…a 1910 sterling silver dime nearly worn flat.

People often ask me why I do this…The rewards speak for themselves!

Enjoy,
Dean

May 6th coin hunt.
Paper money has been hard to come by lately so I have been gathering circulated coin rolls when I can.
I managed to get $250 worth of dimes and quarters and there were some treasures!
Of course, the white wrapped rolls contained nothing.  ☹️

Highlights include:
$2.70 in US change
A Barbados dime, a UK 5 pence coin 1990,1991,1978 in nicer shape, a colour 2021, some 1968 nickel alloy dimes and best of all, two silver dimes, 1953 and 1963!. The 1963 dime has nice toning too…

Enjoy!
Dean

Thanks for looking!

Was this selling price the result of two desperate and stubborn mad men?

Maybe I’m out of touch or just a cheapskate, but for something like this I’d have a very very hard time paying even $150.

This is my thinking as well for price but at the end of the day its all about how much one would be willing to spend in order to acquire one such piece. Keep in mind as well it is very rare to see a BSW up for sale as there are so few of them around. I think eventually as more appear on the market the charlton guides will eventually reflect on their true value.

Most buyers take into account the bidders premium when they decide their maximum bids at auction.  It would be erroneous to use the hammer price only as any benchmark for market value.

+1
-so about $630

-which means that the VF35 BSW $20 went for nearly 8X the Charlton Book value for this note in VF condition ($80)

-Now the big question is whether the Charlton pricing panel will take this auction result & revise (raise) their tables for their next edition.

Wow, that's impressive.  But I hope everybody remembers that the price before fees and taxes should be used as the benchmark.

When looking at past public sales for establishing a market value of a banknote you should include at minimum the bidders premium paid by the buyer at auction in this value, as this is an integral part of the final sale price realized.

Most buyers take into account the bidders premium when they decide their maximum bids at auction.  It would be erroneous to use the hammer price only as any benchmark for market value.  Including the sales tax is questionable as many buyers are tax exempt for multiple reasons (i.e. buying for resale, shipping out of country etc.).

BSW - BCS graded VF35 sold for $525 + 20% + tax $711.90!

Wow i'm surprised that it sold for that much. Before I remember people said it was worth 70-200 dollars but if it sold for a higher price than I wonder if the price will rise as time goes on.

Speaking of which does anyone in this forum found a BSW prefix? If you did then how did you find it and what was your reaction when you found one.
