Good topic. When you need a cup of coffee, you take some quarters out of your Dansco.

DNA- Hey, sometimes you can find some awesome stuff in the Bargain Box. Often mistakes are made and dealers will still honor the low price attached. I know of a guy who pulled some F-VF CC's out of a "junk Morgan box."

Like my VF-20 1934-S Peace dollar and my AG-3 1894-S Morgan!

I've also acquired silver coins for less than their melt
value (on several occasions) from Bargain Bins/Boxes/etc.
(especially when silver was around $20/oz. early in 2008!)

If one had enough time and luck, their Bargain Box collection
could in fact be pretty awesome!

I've found so many great coins at flea markets and from people that usually DUMP all the coins in large bins. At one coin show a dealer has a JUNK box I always go through. He is one of those dealers that a coin worth less than a few thousand dollars is just junk. I spend a lot of time in that box.
Rest in Peace

The ashtray in the F150 falls on the floor again from the weight of change, and you find a 1999 Delaware State Quarter!

or

You upgrade the fusebox in the house and you end up with 5 pre war wheat cents!
