What are your best junk bin pulls?

4 posts • viewed 176 times

In honor of ”the good old days” when the silver price was low enough for me to impulse buy random coins out of silver junk bins, I would like everyone to present their greatest junk bin finds. (All categories welcome, only finds in junk bins though)

For me this is in the top 5 of my collection:

A lovely 5 zlotych of Poland!

( N#28254 )

It’s a very good find, extremely attractive and for only melt value pre-silver spike? Just fantastic!

So please share your greatest (and strange) finds in junk bins!

In a junk lot of ancient uncleaned coins that was in the junk bin for about $0.12 per coin, I found this one which is pretty good looking for the average condition of the coins in that lot.

Hello, I found this 1776 Continental Dollar at a flea market in northern France eight years ago.

It was in a sugar bowl like this one.

It was filled with various coins, and this Dollar was on top. I bought it for 50 euro cents and it was authenticated by PCGS.

This is by far my best find; it is still in my possession to this day.
