I picked up some 1930's era "junk" silver Washingtons.
Someone at the shop did not pay attention, and I managed to snag a 1932S in fine condition for just $3.50 !!
There was also a mid grade 1936D in there I picked up.
Not a bad day at all !!

I am surprised someone would throw 1930's Wash 25c in JB unless AG or damaged. These are nice high demand retail collector coins not something I would sell near melt. How in the world does somebody miss that.....

I pulled some 1932, 34, and 35's in EF out of there, as well as the 1936D in low end VF. My kinda junk :c)
This is not the first time I have pulled rare coins from that shop's junk bin. Same thing on the paper money side. They just don't pay attention to what they are putting in the junk.
They also have been known to throw 1923S through 1933S Walkers in the junk bins, and even 1917 D and S OBV mint marks.
CHECK YOUR JUNK BINS FOR TREASURES !!
Immediately if not sooner. Tyvm.

Wow!!! I had an almost identical experience about a year ago. I came across a junk box that I pulled out (12) '30's Washington Quarters. A 1932-S which I'd put at VF, a 1936-D that is at XF45-AU50, a couple of BU 1936-S and the rest BU 1935-S. I paid 15X face for the lot.. I wish I had know more about varieties then, based on what was in there, there were probably some other nice stuff I missed.
buy something more besides junk.

Geesh! I've never collected silver in my life and even I know that the 32-D and 32-S Washington qtrs are keys.
HAPPY COLLECTING

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Most B&M dealers I speak with say all coins but the top 5% or so are absolutely dead.
There are trays and trays of 2x2s filled with coins that will never bring anything close to "book".
Bullion content plus a premium for only the top 3-5 grades.
Rest just seat in trays moving with bullion price if applicable.
A long long time ago I was told it's called seeding. Gets collectors to come back and may
buy something more besides junk.
