I go out a buy a lot of junk silver coins for melt value. Through the years I have gotten some nice coins for my collection while still hoarding silver. While buying 8 Canadian silver dollars on Saturday ($100 tax in) I picked up a nice 1936 silver dollar in about EF.
For our US friends who may not think this is that great, keep in mind that we only started making silver dollars in 1935 and mintage on this year was only 306,100.
1) Got an 1894-P Morgan Dollar from a "junk" silver lot I bought from a lady so I paid something like $13 for it 2) Got an 1899-P Morgan Dollar from a coin dealers common/circulated Morgan Dollar box and I think I paid around $15 or $16 for it.
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.
