During the first great silver rush of late 79 early 80 a LOT of early 1960's proof sets got scrapped for the metal content. Those coins would be cut out of the pliofilm and tossed in bags with the rest of the 90% junk silver. That is probably what he means, they've been pulled from bags of junk silver.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 08:22 am I've owned many rolls of proof Franks, Washies & Roosies. They are basically very nice 90% junk silver and nothing more. Some collectors buy proof sets and cull through them selecting what they want to keep and selling off the reminder. The premium to melt of these should be a very nominal amount. 10% over melt tops and that's retail. The ones I've seen never include any DCAMs or CAMs and darn few would grade over PR65. They are cool to own though and pretty to look at. Never pay a big premium for them. Here's a roll of Washies I sold. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Most collectors buy silver proof coins for their pristine quality .They wouldn't want something that is considered 90% junk . Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 5:53 pm I buy proof coins as they are lower mintage if I find a doubled die. (3,000 coins per die) Report this Post to the Staff

Junk silver is not a negative term in this case. These are high mintage commons with a value that parallels their melt value. That's why they're considered 90% junk.
