Would you tell the dealer that you pulled this out of the junk bin? Just for conversations sake, or just leave it?

I'd just be a loyal repeat customer and continue to check the bulk silver for more choice picks. No reason to gloat about how the dealer overlooked something.

Other than cleaning. Still a great pick up.

nice, and a very scarce variety.

The centered MM on this date is very scarce, I have searched for them for years, and only one in about every 100 are the centered MM.

Great find, and an even better price.

Inspired by your example I checked the Barber quarter bin at my local shop and found a 1895-S in G-4 (mm far right). Not as great a find as the '97-S but I'll keep checking!

The 1897-S is becoming a tough coin to find especially without any problems. Nice find!

I love to read stories like this! What an awesome find and what a keen eye you have to find it amongst all of the other coins in the bin. Keep on looking and best of luck to you in the future!

A good B&M is a very good ally in your collecting. Hope you find someone!
