I was digging through my coin dealers junk silver bin when I found this 1964 Washington quarter. It is hard to see in the picture but it appears to have a mirrored finish. I didn't see any significant wear on it, although I spotted a fingerprint - which I Q-tip with Acetone. When I purchased it, I was concerned that there was not a mint mark. But hey, it was for spot, so I decided to take a chance. I got home and did some research on 1964 Washington Proofs. From what I can tell the 1964 Proofs did not have mint marks. Do I have something here, or did I fall for the "Ohhh... Ahhh... Shiny"?   |

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.

I picked up 60's proof Roosies from my B&M guy's $1 bin - cleaned him out completely!

Are they like coin shops or what?

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.
