Buying silver coins from a store's bargain bin.

Don't know how many collectors go searching in a store's junk silver box. But sometimes I feel they have pretty good coins laying around in them. Got these today, also playing around with Photoshop so lets see how these pictures come out.



1951


1964


1968

Nothing in high grade, but it was fun searching through them.

May I ask what you paid for these? I never see these in my local coin dealer's bargain bin.

 

I got three Barber halves from my local dealer's junk silver selection. Typically I try to get silver dollars, but they didn't have at the time. But finding decent barber halves for melt value is a great deal IMO!

 

I picked my dealer's junk box clean of proof silver Roosevelt dimes for less than $1 each.

 

Got the 40% silver Kennedy for $6 and the other two for $13 each.

 

Not bad. $1 over spot.

 

Picked up 23 40% @ $100.

 

I picked up 4 walking liberty halves @ $12 each on Wed. 41, 42, 43 and one the date is too worn to read.

 

my local dealer sells his *junk* silver for spot times like .725? its no premium over spot but im too busy looking at the seated libertys to pay much attention to what he has in the pile of them

 

I'll have to ask next time I go shopping. He may have a special bin only for customers that ask about them. Thanks, by the way.
