Looking through the junk bin is now becoming one of my favorite past times at the coin store.

Today I picked up:

1944 Phillipines 10 centavos - 0.0482 oz silver

Neat non-silver coins I found:

1888 5 Pfenning
1919 Costa Rica 10 centavos
1865 Great Britain 1/2 penny
1940 and 1943 Nazi 5 and 10 reichspfennig


Cant beat the cheap silver

One local coin store has a junk bin that sells coins for .10 each or 12 for $1. Went there to look for any French and Netherlands Ni coins but saw 1 that looked silver to me so bought it for the 8 1/3 cents. It was a 1955 2 Kronor from Sweden and turned out to be 40% Ag with a .1800 oz ASW. I was really happy.

Looking through the junk bin is also one of my favorite pastimes at the coin store.
Congrats on your Ag find!
