Yard Sale Grab Bag

I went out to grab a bite to eat and passed a yard sale on the way. It was the usual stuff but when I asked if they had any coins, I was handed a Crown Royal Whiskey bag that had a handful of coins in it. It was a dollar so I took it.

There was a bunch of foreign (older), some common tokens, about 35 pretty worn wheats from the teens to the mid thirties, a couple of rubber toy coins, a 1968 Canadian fifty cent piece (nickel) and a worn silver 1949 Canadian quarter.

Not bad for a buck!

Not bad at all - heck you got more than $1 in just wheaties and canadian money.

 

You lucky dog, thats one hell of a buy. Several of those wheaties have MM's. Good buddy...

 

looks like some silver canada coins also in the finds which is a great find

 

Just the quarter, the fifty cent piece is nickel.

 

thats a nice haul for a buck. Dang.

 

One heck of a cherry pick!!!

 

Great looking coins for the price!! Congrats

 

Looks fun! Nice haul.

 

Helas.... It is very sad to say that I'm hanging out with a bunch of coin geeks.

I WANT the Crown Royal Whiskey bag

 

Nice find. Wish I could pass a yardsale like that every day.

 

For a buck I'd take that chance in a heartbeat. Turns out you did VERY well.

 

Just at the right place at the right time!

 

Well I've heard of cheques (checks) bouncing but never coins! Excellent buy.

 

You did great for $1! Congrats. TC

 

I think my favorites are the rubber ones. Never seen those before.

 

I'm guessing they're from one of those "Let's Play Grocery Store" toys.

 

Great find and you got the bag too. :thumb:

 

I used to play with a bunch of plastic/rubber money back when I was a kid. I have no idea where they came from.
