Any silver coins that I have bought that were cleaned or deeply scratched carry a "junky" feeling in my book. Anything VG and higher is pretty well cherished, though. That's pretty much one of the better ways for a new collector to enter into the market. The same goes for US coins - to me, I have no attachment to my "junk" silver because they are ugly and were only bought for the silver content.

90%: how?

I buy most of my collection of silver Canadian coins from the 'junk pile' at a nearby shop. Last week I found 6 silver nickels, 6 silver dimes, and 3 silver quarters (all Vicky's and Eddies). The nickels cost me 60-cents each, the dimes $1.20 each, and the quarters (1874, 1892, & 1900) for $3 apiece.
I don't really care if others call them 'junk' coins. I'm always very happy to get them at the bargains I pay. There were also many AU silver coins (later Elizabeth's) that I could have bought but I didn't want to pay for ones that I may have had in nice shape already. Next time I'll have to bring a list of low graded coins I have.
