    I just opened a small bag of junk silver coins that I bought in 2016. It was a $10.00 face value bag and it contained a number of things.

    2 Walking Liberty Half Dollars
    A few Washington Quarters
    $3.00 face in Mercury Dimes
    $3.25 in proofs and
    3 Uncirculated coins

    First photo is the 3 Uncirculated coins, a 1954 Quarter, a 1953 and a 1961-D Roosevelt Dimes. The blemish was on my lens, not on the coin.

    The colors on the coins are just the way light is hitting them.

    That’s correct. I bought them when I was working 6 days a week and if I had an 80 work week, it was a blessing. I just worked, ate, bathed and slept. And of course I bought coins. This started back in 2011 and I’m just now opening the packages. Being retired is nice. :) Sue glad I retired a few years early.

    Dave…. I have taken a poll and it is unanimous….. Everyone on CT demands you open and reveal the contents of the rest of your boxes!

    It’s a slow painstaking process Randy and the CT members don’t want me to have a heart attack caused by excitement. They are being opened but slowly. This is my busy time of the year at the antique shop. :)

    I just posted a real pretty one. I’ve had it about 7 or 8 years. And yes, just recently unpacked. :) Still deciding if I want that coin in my Dansco Type set.
