A good find to be sure. Even if it's only about G04, it's got to be worth, what, 5X melt at least?

I'll search junk bins for ANYTHING numismatic that may be a bargain. Perhaps half of the World coins ancient to modern in my collection, which numbers about 4,000 pieces found over the last 40 years, have come in this way.
That's an average of about 50 coins per year, or something around 4 or 5 per month.
Bargain wise, it helps greatly if your widen your numismatic horizons to include anything numismatic. There about 200 U.S. coins in the collection; that's a sizeable sub collection in it's own right.

It looks so vintage. That is to say, it looks so awesome, and I'm so envious. Great pickup, shadow. That's it. I'm going to do a search and try to find the closest coin shop to my house. I am so tired of ebay at the moment. I'm guessing the closest B&M will be in Memphis. Junk bin finds just fascinate me. Edited by Darth Morgan

I'd go bankrupt if I expanded my selection to foreign coins, haha. Nice find, OP, I like it! Crusty and original. |

Foreign coins can be very addicting. Some beautiful examples of coinage out there.

I personally love Swiss coinage, and Philippine coinage from when they were a US Commonwealth.
