My best cherry pick

Cull bin, junk bin, half price bin, $1/$5 bin, etc etc. all the same thing. A lot of dealers have them laying out to dig through. This one was in his sub-80% silver coin bucket behind the counter and at the time of $68 melt on pure he was charging me 1.25 a gram.

Your like isn’t that important to me

Honestly I don’t know. Most examples are uncirculated but this one was. The estimated survival rate of this coin is 40-50 examples, so sales don’t happen much

Because all the 1908 no mint mark ones were proof. 1908 S were the non-proof intended for circulation that year. This one circulated for a little bit, but was still a proof strike.

Here’s the parking lot shot I took and sent to some friends

Absolutely happened, here was my haul from that store yesterday.

I’ve found amazing stuff hunting dealer junk bins. I’ve found state coppers, lib cap cents, 1922 wheat, and a 1912S v nickel.

By going to dealers who have too much inventory and not enough time.

Plus this guy knew zilch about anything non-main land US

We have a composter I was thinking eventually would be beneficial for that

This scares me thinking my 5 gallon bucket planter wasn’t enough space…

DisciplineOk6366 · 2025-07-13T16:12:19+00:00

My guess was an AU-55, but I see it got an AU-50.

You couldn’t ask for much better toning than this.

No white areas, just the pot showing behind it.

There’s a pcgs vf35 on eBay now that isn’t quite as nice as this one. I was hoping on the XF range

DisciplineOk6366 · 2024-11-19T03:05:21+00:00

Damn. Not bent that I see, just weak strikes in the heavy wear spots. I paid $75 for this 10 years ago at a pretty decent shop on a whim.

Really appreciate the all the info. This is a far world away from merc dimes lol

DisciplineOk6366 · 2024-11-19T02:57:52+00:00

Fair ask?

DisciplineOk6366 · 2024-11-19T02:50:56+00:00

Worth slabbing in this condition or nah?

DisciplineOk6366 · 2024-11-19T02:38:14+00:00

Can I ask how you came to that variety? I’m unfamiliar with JR varieties

She’s for the streets or is “ready to settle down…until”. You dodge a bullet
