Don't forget to check the "junk" dollar box! Near gem Peace found for almost melt!

This coin might have been a 65 before it was put into the $30 bin...Those reed marks on the face look fresh. It was still well worth the price!

Excuse my ignorance but what is a "junk dollar box"?

 

[Coinkid]

It's a box that most dealers have where they put their silver dollars that are essentially worth melt.

I recently purchused a silver eagle from a coin dealers 'junk' box. It was so pretty except for some dents along the edge. I asked how much it was worth and the guy quoted me the silver price for the day. when I asked why it was so cheap he said because it was all dinged up. I told him that I would buy her, that the silver dollar was calling to me. I carry her now in my pocket for emergencies.

What kind of emergency calls for a silver dollar as it's spending value is just $1 & what cost's a dollar these days? Nothing that's worth $30+ that I can think of! Now while you might get lucky & have someone who "knows" give you more than face value for it I would think an emergency $10 &/or $20 bill would do you much better in an emergency!

That's a piece of paper. I'd much rather have a chunk of silver or gold.
