Absolutely! The only silver I've found anywhere was in my fiancées can of coins. Nothing in junk boxes or circulation.

Proofs were made in Philly up until 68, so any proofs prior to that will not have a mint mark. Nice pick up.

Sweet find I have been able to pick up Proof Roosies in my LCS's junk silver bin but the funny thing is his proof Jeffersons are all in 2x2s and cost more than the dimes.

Yes Brick & Morter, B&M, LCS (Local Coin Store) all mean a physical store location that you can go into to see and buy coins. In contrast with a dealer who only has online business or only deals by mail or at coin shows.

I am a big fan of the fully brilliant proofs that were produced up through 1964. To find one in the junk bin that looks like it would grade well is a sweet deal. I am still hoping that the mint will have the guts to produce some fully brilliant proofs again. Now that the technology exists to make die that produce fully brilliant coins from strike one (the pre-1965 die had to strike a few cameo coins before the devices smoothed out), they could produce some very interesting coin sets. Imagine an ASE set with a modern cameo proof, a "reverse" proof, a fully satin proof (an uncirculated ASE struck twice), and a fully brilliant proof.
