I am out of town for the weekend and decided to stop by a local coin shop and ask to look at their foreign junk coin bin.
Found a 1943 British 6 pence for about 10 cents

Bully!
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I need to find a better coin dealer. The only one that I have in my area has a junk bin that is not priced. He decides the value of the coin when you go to pay for it.

Yeah I know not worth much but finding it in the junk bin is still awesome
Also found foreign exchange way below exchange rate so overall was awesome deal.

Just got a french 1931 10 Franc it's .680 fine. Not too bad for $0.10
I'm wondering if we should start a junk bin silver finds in the tracking section?

That is a great idea.
Common sense should prevail if not, misery will.
