With the rise in silver prices, many US silver coins are heading for their destruction at the smelters. This thread is designed for people who have saved coins bought at junk silver prices. I have bought numerous "junk" rolls over the years and pulled examples that have numismatic value over their assigned "junk" designations. Post your finds if you wish! I'll start it with a few of mine:
1938-S Washington quarter -

1954 Frankie and a wholesome 1917-D Reverse half
I purchased these at melt from a local dealer. I would shudder to think he was about to send them to a smelter or refiner, but all I paid was the silver melt value. They are worth a bit more.
