    Always lots of fun going through the junk boxes at a coin show. Mostly around melt, $0.60 per g.

    Oddly enough..... I have found the gun shows in my area include a number of coin booths.

    Nice. I don't think I've ever seen a U.S. Classic Silver Commemorative in a dealer's junk bin before.

    Very Very nice pick up for junk ,I don't think the dealer knew what he had, or you bought at his fair price, I'll have to double check those junk coins when I go to the shows

    Very nice junk box finds. I hope everyone reading this thread posts their finds. I go to small one day coin shows within 100 miles and have found an 1804 large cent nearly dateless but identified by the die cud for the 266B ($35). 1942/41 D dime ($2). 1865 Doubled die reverse cent ($5). 1935 Doubled die reverse nickel ($1.50). I enjoy looking through those big junk boxes.

    I know, I look for them "in the wild" and have found a few (Columbus doesn't count)

    Junk bins are great. Oftentimes I just pull out whatever looks interesting, including this big damaged Chinese 20 Cash. I researched it later and it turned out to be a scarce issue from the Chekiang mint in 1906.

    I also notice you got some British India coins. Here’s my $1 1944 1/4 rupee:

    The rim dings as well as the big gash behind George’s head limit this coin’s value to right around the dollar I paid for it, but it’s a great design that in my opinion is worth it. Maybe I’ll get a higher grade example sometime.
