    Post your best junk bin finds.

    My best was a 1932 Swiss 5 rappen in possibly MS-63 for $.25.

    Other finds include an 1888 and three 1896 LHNs. All are very heavily worn, but probably worth more than the .50 each I spent on them.

    Amazing! Is the 59-D FBL? Do you think the toning came from a mint set?
    What was the price on them? I'm guessing melt.

    I assume it was in a bucket of junk Roosevelt/Mercury dimes?

    An 1808 Half dollar. It has a hole in it but still a good find. The dealer was ticked when he saw that his employees had put it in there, but I was a younger collector so he let me have it.

    it was =) It is worn like crazy, the reverse is almost non existant, (contains distant traces of design) and the obverse is a solid G4, both sides are cleaned shin, but for $1.30 I could not pass it up
