Huge score? No, certainly not in this low grade. But it illustrates why I've become something of a junk bin junkie.

It was in with the stuff that you rummage through and then pay 25¢ apiece for. My pile of six coins actually got thrown in for free because I was buying some silver bullion.

I'd be overjoyed to have that to put in a 2X2 and fill a pocket.I wish there was a Bargain bin around here to rummage through.

That's a nice find.

Do you think the dealer "seeds" the bargain bin to keep people coming back?

I don't think so. My favorite places actually tend to be fairly prestigious, high end operations (at one of them today, the owner was proudly showing me his newest acquisition - his resale price being $210K). They just aren't spending a lot of their time sorting through, say, a pile of worn wheaties, as they have much bigger fish to fry. That's why, when you're in that bottom feeder mode, their "culls" are what you want to take a little time looking through.
