Not entirely junk, and sadly does not belong to me. But wouldn't it be great to find this in your attic?

Weiss. The coins you've posted, in my opinion, is not considered "junk." They all have a moderate numismatic value in addition to their melt value.
So what you're saying is...
One man's trash is another man's treasure?
Most of this, including many of the 8 reales, were purchased at or very near melt over the years. It takes a fair amount of legwork, but it can be done.
Start with the best quality you can get for melt. Then keep your eyes open, and negotiate melt-ish prices on BU rolls or things that interest you--but be prepared to pony up the cash. Money talks, BS walks.
Then promise yourself (and mean it) that you'll offload the smooth barbers and F-VF walkers at the first chance. Rinse, repeat, and you've got better quality stuff with moderate numismatic value for the price of melt.

@ChangeInHistory Looks like some UNC Roosies in there. I am working on a nice choice to gem white to very lightly toned roosie album. If you got any available PM me please. Still need quite a few date and mm.

It's all junk today with silver down almost $1
Sold all of mine for an average of 22xface. Not regretting it. Like the title in the thread indicates...it's just " JUNK."
Sold most of the junk silver months ago.

Actually the dimes were for the pay toilets….

Here’s one
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Nice. I'm a big fan of the Swiss canton coinage.
I hadn’t opened this for a long time.


Glad to see I'm not alone.
At a coin shop, junk continues to flow through. Like a tsunami of debris.
Clogged gutters.
Mint error I think...
