I've had this coin for years and I had it labeled as 1922 G, but then I scanned it and looked at the photo and I said, that's not a G. But I don't...
My best junk bin find was this gold Turkish 25 kurush (sorry for the blurry pic) which cost 15 cents. But I can understand how this was overlooked...

For years what I've done is go through junk bins at a dealer and buy everything good, then get home and sort them into the pile I'm keeping and...
This is a good point. I know at one point I sold off all my stamps and then ten years later I got interested in stamps again. Personally I'm not...
