What are your best junk bin pulls?

In honor of ”the good old days” when the silver price was low enough for me to impulse buy random coins out of silver junk bins, I would like everyone to present their greatest junk bin finds. (All categories welcome, only finds in junk bins though)

For me this is in the top 5 of my collection:

A lovely 5 zlotych of Poland!

( N#28254 )

It’s a very good find, extremely attractive and for only melt value pre-silver spike? Just fantastic!

So please share your greatest (and strange) finds in junk bins!

In a junk lot of ancient uncleaned coins that was in the junk bin for about $0.12 per coin, I found this one which is pretty good looking for the average condition of the coins in that lot.

Hello, I found this 1776 Continental Dollar at a flea market in northern France eight years ago.

It was in a sugar bowl like this one.

It was filled with various coins, and this Dollar was on top. I bought it for 50 euro cents and it was authenticated by PCGS.

This is by far my best find; it is still in my possession to this day.
