Thirty years ago, I found more treasure in trash as a "sanitation engineer".

One too few collectors out there. Or are there one too many dealers ? Who knows ? Dreck and schlock are perceived, like oatmeal and raisins… to some. To others, these would make good conversation pieces. I still like the idea of PCGS making "Coasters" for drinks that hold genuine coins or any type that do not carry a large premium. Someone should do it. COASTERS, I say again.

I did not see any "Junk" in that batch. Admittedly they are marginally valuable coins, and in some cases the grading fees out value the coin, but that does not make them junk. It may make them undesirable for your collecting habits/wants/needs, but for those that want to collect these things it may be very fortunate to find them graded. If you think about the fact that someone can buy a graded coin for less than the cost of the grading that can be a good thing.
On these boards I hear alot about it is the collecting part of coins and not the investing part we should be concerned with, and then we go and bang this stuff because of the "value." It is not right. To each their own. What is most interesting about these photos is the time and effort (if the story is true) someone took putting this all together. Not an easy task if you think about it.

I don't see any junk either. Unless, of course, you're of the mindset that anything "YOU" don't want is considered "junk"!
Someone, somewhere submitted all these coins for grading. Why they no longer have them is anybody's guess. Maybe a death, maybe an upgrade, maybe a "need" to sell. Whatever. Not everybody starts the slab game hitting the ground in a flat out run.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

I'm guessing most of the moderns were submitted looking for a high grade like a 69 or a 70 and they came back with a lower grade.

From the pictures I see coins of value. A few Morgans and franklins etc. Probably not examples of exceptional value but silver coins none the less. When did that become dreck. Guess my collection is a real laughing stock.

It appears that the seller gets to pick the silver coin(s) you receive, and you have to buy at least 6 coins to get just one!
I guess the incessant "need" to continue to post eBay listings such as this is intended to feed the "needs" of some on the forums so that they feel better or perhaps more superior to other folks. I'd think that there would be better subjects to be "entertained" with.

Speaking of trash talk, in 2015 Seattle will start penalizing those that don't compost food scraps.

That is incredible. How many of us have ever seen a pre-2005 coin?
