[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 8182436, member: 74863"]I just finished searching a $100 face value bag of junk silver. Found a few hole fillers but also found this. Every once in awhile I find some really good pieces in my junk silver. I bought this particular lot 6 years ago. I think it’s the first lot that there wasn’t a single Mercury Dime in it. But I did find this. A nice looking toned Washington Quarter. [ATTACH=full]1430763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1430764[/ATTACH] Then I flipped it over. George’s profile was black, like a reverse proof coin. I tilted it in the light and saw this. [ATTACH=full]1430765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1430766[/ATTACH] You can see the toning and the blackness this would cause in the light of on the correct angle. The last photo clearly shows the damage. Very tiny, shallow holes have been drilled everywhere. Back in the junk silver bag it went. At least I found a few holes in folders that I build from junk silver coins. I only need one common date Roosevelt Dime to finish that book. More junk silver searching coming up in the near future. At least I have some.[/QUOTE]
