<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 723580, member: 4552"]Being a person that frequents many, many coin shows as a general rule they are called bargain boxes or bins. If you go to coin shows frequently and in the basic same areas, you usually see the same dealers. As you get to know them you could tell if it's OK to call the bargain box, JUNK STUFF. There are several dealers at shows I do say that to but usually not if there are other customers in the area. You have to realize that some people take things for real and if you call a bargain box JUNK, others may think you've been though it and know it's just JUNK. I've seen one dealer with one of those boxes and a sign on it saying DISCOUNTED COINS. So if in doubt, just use terms such as Bagain or Discounted coin bins or boxes. </p><p>Odd thing is at most of the shows I go to there is one dealer that is stuck on really, really high priced coins and has very little concerns for normal, every day collector coins so he places some really nice coins in his JUNK BOX. I've found some really nice Walker Halves in there for $2 and $3 in EF grades. I've asked him if he got that right and he usually says those are coins most people don't want.
