Nothing Spectacular, But Fun to Find

Found these at a LCS in a dealer’s junk silver box. I’ll keep going back cause they never sort out any of the better dates and conditions. While I only buy certified coins in predominantly PCGS holders for higher value coins , I absolutely love the hunt in finding coins like these. I’ll post more later if anyone is interested in seeing what else I’ve picked up.

    Those quarters are all pretty decent junk silver finds.

    A retired dealer friend now works part time assisting a hot shot dealer who specializes in buying out holdings of other dealers. His job is to sort through the piles and look for coins that should get graded, sell for premiums, etc.

    One large bin of “junk silver “ that came in from a dealer estate had over 50 lower grade seated dimes in it. Guessing that was assembled a long time ago!

    Enjoying the simple thinks in life. For season collectors these seem like common coins but most people have never seen a Barber or Standing Liberty coin. It’s fun introducing them to something they would find unique.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    A 1909-O quarter in a junk silver box, not bad!

    Nothing wrong with silver in any condition. 👍 👍

    Couldn't believe it when I saw it. The only thing I could think of is maybe they thought it was a D. And I only paid 6 bucks for it!

    I think you're probably right.
