Some real nice 'junk' silver.... I have not had such good fortune in that area...If I ever get to another coin show I will be sure to check all the junk boxes... Cheers, RickO
Bought and sold now, but the guy that I bought it from who is a good friend bought an 1870-CC quarter in a junk bin in Scotland for 1$ in the 1980s. Whaaaaatt???
My father, before he started collecting coins but wanted to invest in bullion, bought an 1874 20$ from his aunt, who sold it to him after her husband, who had just passed away, brought it back from Australia in WWII. Turned out to be a proof!!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaatttttt????????

Not my biggest find in "junk", but one of my favorites.
"Show me"?
Show you?
No.
You're not the boss of me.
