I traded a 1964 silver dime for this note was it worth it. The dime was nothing special just a regular 64
Are you happy with the trade? Personally, I don't think trading can be viewed the same way as purchases. Oftentimes, value has very little to do with the exchange. If I want something somebody else has and I have something they want or need, the cost of these items is a very minor part of the negotiation. In your case, you had a silver dime worth ~$1. I can only assume, without looking up, that this note is also a low value item. So, in the end you made an exchange of mutual satisfaction. Had you sold your coin on ebay and purchased the note, you would have spent $6 on shipping and incurred ebay/pp fees. Had you bought the note from a shop, you would need to include the shopowner's fees. So, in the end, there is no winner or loser in a scenario like this one.
The condition of the note is not the greatest.. I would of passed but it's not the worst deal ever made
It's all in perspective. At the end of the day, only you get to decide if you're happy with it. If you're happy, then it was worth it. I'm afraid if you're hoping we will help convince you, I won't be of any help. Having been to Afghanistan and purchased several note packages that included this one, along with the coins; I'd have passed on this offer. I would not, however, be able to get another set of these bills for as cheap as I did, so the relative cost of acquiring it isn't really that bad.
Twenty-five years ago I traded two fine cigars for a corroded two center. Monetarily I probably got the short end of the deal. But I was happy with the swap. I still have the piece and you can bet those two fine cigars have long since been gone.
Well here you go. Short mintage (1864-1873) because it wasn't an overly popular denomination. But has the distinction of being the piece that introduced "In God We Trust" to our coinage. The piece below was dug up near a river in Columbia South Carolina in the 1980's. And its value was exactly two fine cigars.
I would have passed on the deal but as long as you're happy with the trade that's all that really matters!
Perhaps if the note wasn't all wrinkled. What is the face value of the note in USD? Is there a collector value for the note? Personally, I have a ton of 64 and 64-D's so if this was something I wanted, I'm really not giving anything up for it, except $1 worth of silver. Which when you get right down to it, is almost nothing.
Looks like it might actually have been there! (I'd prefer rougher edges and a darker center fold.) But you got 10,000 ! Truly, hard to find in that condition. For real! and, '64 FDR gonna cost a buck and a half, minimum. Cheapest Ebay: P#63, $2.43 Free Shipping. Uncirculated (They all are!).
