    My wife thought of me while she was shopping a BIG flea market event, and bought a large shoe box from Kohl's from a lady who said there was some coin stuff inside. My wife gave $20, just so I'd have something to browse through. Here were the contents:
    5 Whitman clear plastic 5 coin holders
    7 2X2 clear plastic coin hoders.
    small coin album, containing some error coins, and proof older pennies, and dimes.
    7 H.E.Harris coin collection holders:
    Lincoln set 1909-1940 (containing 1920D,1926S,1928,1929,1930,1934,1935,1935D,1936,1937,1937D,1938,1938S,1939,1940,1940D
    Roosevelt Dime 1965 to 2000 (with a few dimes)
    Washington Quarter 1965-1987 (with 12 quarters)
    Jefferson Nickel 1938-1961 (with 7 nickles)
    Roosevelt Dime 1946-1964 (emplty, but new)
    Washington State Quarters 1999-1003 (empty but new)
    Washington State Quarters 2004-2008 (emplty but new)
    5 "coin books":
    Whitman United State and Canada Coin Collectors Check List 1991

    The three rolls were just duplicates of the pennies in the book. There were not anymore 26S though, just 30's and 40's pennies.
