900% Profit

April 11th, 2008 at 06:51 pm

So rummaging through some spare change, I notice that 1 dime wasn't like the rest. It was a 1962-D dime when dimes were 90% silver. I showed it to my supervisor who is always buying older coins for her brother the coin collector. She knew it was mostly silver and wanted to the dime from me. I checked on ebay and found the low end of for this coin is about $2. Since my coin wasn't niced cared for and in a nice package, I told her it is going to cost her $1. She agreed but try to give me a Sagagawea coin, which I wasn't accepting. My hatred for the Sagagawea pretty much a whole nother entry. A dollar bill I was given and the exchange was made. This is the 2nd best profit margin I've made on a coin exchange. A few years ago I sold an older nickel to the same supervisor for $1.
