I understand what he says was there. The title is "learning to read pays off".

Show me what he read, in the original auction description, that says anything about 96W.

If an auction has a roll of wheat cents, one of each year 1909-1958, and I buy it, I would expect a 1922d. If it shows up and there's an SVDB in it, why would I attribute that to carefully reading the listing?

I would take that to mean an unc 1996P and an unc 1996D, certainly not two 1996Ws

even if the 2 1996W's weren't included the deal was still pretty good with 39 silver dimes in the lot.

Yup. When I bid on it I was only vaguely aware that a 96-W existed, and it crossed my mind that the 96s might be those, but no guarantee. But, I figured if nothing else I was buying silver for a decent margin under spot melt even with the depressed silver price... I've been watching, and the going rate right now seems to be 10x face. Plus getting a proof in the bargain. The W coins were a big bonus, since they're worth the bid price by themselves.
