Visited my Great-Grandma today, and she had a surprise for me! Nothing big, but she gave me a 1924 and a 1925 Lincoln cent, a 1935 Buffalo nickel, a 1957 D Lincoln cent, and 1964, 1968 and 1969 Kennedy halves, among various other coins. There were also some Sacs, Ikes, some $2 notes, more Lincolns, and a couple foreign coins (Egypt and "Nederlands" which I assume is Netherlands). Anyway, nothing big, but still a nice surprise!

She probably got those while they still circulated.

She probably got those while they still circulated. Priceless. Yeah. I'll never get rid of them. She's 81, and she raised me from the time I was six months old, so she's really more like my mom. I was quite excited. I showed her some of my coins, and she was like "Oh yeah, I remember those." Granted, the ones I showed her were from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Just weird to hear someone say they remember using those to pay for things. __________________ Oh Well.
