scottk Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 10:18 pm I love junk. I just bought this junk. I notice there is a 1961 nickel included. I will probably actually take that out of the collection, and add it to my pocket change - which will be a first. Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 12:07 am A coin shop isn't a good coin shop unless it has tons of junk boxes and atleast some junk silver trays. I can afford nice coins through cherry picking. I got 10 full date fine 1920's buffalos I needed for $7.50. I also got a 1943 extra fine Mercury dime 15x face. Same with a 1917 type I Standing Liberty quarter with no date. Report this Post to the Staff
Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 01:00 am In 40 or 50 years from now that 1961 nickel will be just like the Buffalo nickel's in the pic so you should probably keep it. That 1907 IHC doesn't look like junk, its one of the nicer ones that you should treat fairly so it doesn't end up like all the others. Junk coins can be used as flipping coins to solve things and you can bring them around and show people them, I have a little in my collection and I do enjoy having them but only because there really old.

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 01:03 am I too have a soft spot for junk against my better judgment. Bought a AG/G Flying Eagle a few weeks ago as an impulse buy for $11. Isn't it great that we can purchase 160 year old coins for a couple of bucks? Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 01:11 am I have about a kilo of World junk silver coins of bullion value only. Dates range from c/- 1800 to c/- 1950, condition EF downwards. Nevertheless despite their low value, they are quite interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 08:24 am Junk/coins? Isn't that an oxymoron? That Buffalo on the lower left isn't junk either. I happen to like low grade coins also. As long as I can see the date, it's going in the folder Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 11:02 am I like to think of the history behind the coin. My Grandpa was at Pearl Harbor and I have a 1919 LWC that was in his pocket change that day. Unfortunately when I give it to my Grandchild and he post it on a board such as this, it will be poo poohed because there is no COA. Report this Post to the Staff
