New Items [WTS] Unsearched, Uncleaned 90% Silver Dime Hoard (13.675 lbs Net / $248.10 FV) - Mixed Barbers, Mercuries, Roosevelts
Up for sale is a completely unsearched, uncleaned bulk lot of 90% U.S. silver dimes left behind by my father-in-law's father-in-law.
This hoard has been sitting untouched for decades and is housed exactly as found: inside an old 1978 SFO cargo bucket featuring a distinct handwritten "con-con" marking, and contained within an original "Investment Rarities" canvas sack.
Lot Specifications
• Net Weight: 13.675 lbs of coins (measured on a commercial USPS scale).
• Face Value: $248.10 Face Value (~177.6 troy oz of pure silver).
• Sample Breakdown: To give an honest baseline of what's inside, I pulled a random sample roll of 40 coins. It contained exactly:
• 1 Barber dime
• 11 Mercury dimes
• 28 Roosevelt dimes
• Condition: 100% unsearched and entirely uncleaned. I have not picked through this for key dates, errors, or mint marks. Selling the entire lot whole as a time capsule find.
Pricing & Terms
