Yeah, all the time, I usually pass because they're usually problem coins.

If you get them for around spot, it's not an issue if they're "problem coins"...
I have a few hazy 40% Proof Ikes I bought for melt or less...

Sorry, but I won't pay melt for cleaned, scratched, impaired, or circulated proofs... because that's all they're worth... melt.

I've found a 1987-S Kennedy half Proof and a 1982-S Proof nickel while coin roll hunting. Both still kinda have their "proofiness" but clearly touched. Still keep them, but I'd prefer that they where perfect. |

Never found any. But got a Proof Lincoln Cent in my change. @Fade, I disagree with you. Why wouldn't you want cleaned coins if you can get them for melt? I think it's cool to own silver coins. |

Because silver at melt isn't necessarily a good deal given how much is available and is a poor use of resources? I'd rather focus on things that make me more money, faster... like cherrypicking or buying undergraded/raw coins and having them graded for profit.
The only junk silver I buy are either coins I need for my sets/upgrades for my sets, or coins that can be flipped for a healthy profit, or cherrypicked varieties (Hello, Type B washies!)

Since worn circulated silver coins are commonly sold at melt value, why not get Silver Proofs with no circulation wear, still in their lenses, when they are offered at melt value? I have a number of problem-free Silver Proof coins purchased at melt value or less  |

I have found a proof 1999 French Franc for 20 cents.
And I have been fooled by some very proof-like Swiss coins (and many Canadian proof-likes).
