    Visited a few of my favorite coin-dealers, flea markets, and junk shops while vacationing in Florida. It certainly isn’t the most exciting mixture of coins, but it’s certainly better than paying $0.50 per coin at my LCS in Tennessee.

    A host of foreign coins: 15/$1

    More odds and ends: 12/$1

    A collection of larger odds and ends: 4/$1

    A trio of silver coins bought for melt:

    Nice finds.
    I believe that Mexican peso is silver also.

    You did well! And, as important, enjoyed yourself. Boy, I'd like to get into a junk box like that.

    Vacation coin shopping is the best. I'm coming home with a Medium Flat Rate box full of stuff from my weeklong vacation back home.

    I agree with @Beefer518 - my favorite is that holed shilling.

    Agreed. I'd much rather have it and appreciate it rather than allowing some dim-witted silverbug to melt it purely for silver content.
