<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 61147, member: 1674"]I didn't say "junk box" I said "junk silver box" the difference is that the junk box usually contains international coins or other interesting (but usually unknown) items, but junk silver is anything that is 90% silver and has no great premium to my dealer. Basically whenever anyone sells him their silver hoard he does a cursory look through it and dumps the vast majority of it into a big box that he lets people sort through. The last time I was there I sorted through about 500 Franklins since his most recent acquisition was mostly them, and yes I did find both a 49S and a 55P in the bin. With silver currently low I was able to buy them (along with about 30 others) for $2.75 each. here are the pics, the 49S is a VF and the 55 is AU+ with great luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>49S Obv.</p><p><img src="http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421618431/0/600/450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Rev.</p><p><img src="http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421618431/1/600/450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>55 Obv.</p><p><img src="http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421618431/4/600/450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Rev.</p><p><img src="http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421618431/5/600/450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
