    We've all got some, those coins which are too good to get rid of and aren't worthy of any sort of special attention. Here are mine, they're kept in a plastic baggy inside another cigar-box, LOL. Everything from old damaged jewelry, saddle silver, and US Silver to an authentic Ming Dynasty Chinese Cash bracelet (sadly holed a time or two).

    Let's see your numismatic bonepile or junk silver, etc.

    Take Care

    Pretty much my entire childhood coin collection is a bone pile.
    Even my 1968 Proof Set which is worth only $2 more than I paid for it became worthless because I let it bounce around in a box for 38 years until the lens got scratched up.

    Here's mine, just some random coins in a jar in case I need cash for a soda. There's a couple interesting ones in the mix that I'll spend last, like that Tennessee state quarter. What a beaut.

    Sorry to tell you Jack, but that pile is not real gold. You want to see a real pile of gold coins, check these out:

    Look at all that GOLD! :D :p

    Now, I might be willing to trade my ultra rarie rare gold coins, for your common barely gold coins. :D :p

    I seldom ever take photos of coins so I'll just say mine is abaout 30 rolls of 1943 Lincoln Cents in almost all UNC or MS grades. All given to me by my DAD back in 1943 so I could never part with them.
