    Now, my wife knows I've been back into coin collecting for almost a year. So it took her until today to say "oh, by the way, I think my uncle left me some old coins". She pulls out this old suitcase with a bunch of stuff in it... old collectible "tins", some gold jewelry, a few books, and a small jar of coins. Not many, and nothing rare, but still alot of fun to look through. There was 9 walkers, 5 silver Washington quarters, 2 Barber quarters, 7 Barber dimes, 6 merc's, 2 silver Roosevelt's, 4 Liberty head nickels, 1 buffalo and 2 Indians. One of the Merc's was a 1916... just hoping for a "D" as I flipped it over. The rarest was 1895-S Barber dime, but really low grade. Still, a little fun on a Saturday afternoon!
