A few days ago I as at a coin show i was looking through a 90% silver box, filled with awesome (circulated) mercury dimes when i came upon an 1838 seated dime! cleaned and honestly looks really bad but definitely worth the buck thirty that I paid for it. then a few moments later I found a 1912 barber dime with a liberty that was full and strong!!! damaged, but still appears to be in VF30 condition with good eye appeal otherwise. I was wondering that was the coolest thing that you have found in a 90% silver box?
I have gotten a few worn seated liberty and hundreds of barber dimes and quarters in the mixed 90% boxes. best I did was a full set of pds 1921 walking liberty halves, ill be it they may have only been good-very good but still.
Here is a few I've picked this year out of 90% boxes. (4) 1926-S Mercury Dimes (2) 1931-D Mercury Dimes DDO FS-101 All of the Washington Quarters below were all together in a bullion dealers 90% quarter box paid 15X face 1932-S Washington Quarter VF 1935-S Washington Quarter BU (2) 1936-S Washington Quarter's BU 1936-D Washington Quarter AU (6) 1935-S Washington Quarters AU (3) 1936-S Washington Quarters AU 1938-D Walking Liberty Half F 1920-D Standing Liberty Quarter XF Details
Amazing finds above. I have pulled many Barbers out of junk silver. Not many lately, since there are fewer junk silver dealers at the shows that I attend lately
