<p>[QUOTE="scooterv, post: 1773310, member: 56677"]LOL, yeah, one in a jewlry box, one with the underwear, one here and there inside old cards.

Most of the rest are a pretty wide range. There's also a box of heavily circulated Indian Head cents with some late 1800's Canadian copper and some kind of tokens I've not tried to figure out yet.</p><p> </p><p>Even with an initial small pile my Dad had dug up sorting her house she said she wanted it sold. Nobody else was interested and Dad didn't want to drive 2 hours to a coin dealer so we agreed I could buy it at silver value. I brought about what it would take and then got worried as we continued finding more. Then Grandma wouldn't even take full silver value and we settled on $300 for the lot. </p><p> </p><p>OH, and an 1870 3 cent piece which is causing my some OCD grief! Do I put it in with pennies since it is cents, nickles because it's closer to 5 cents and made of nickles, or dimes because it looks like one? lol I don't have much that old so just going to start a misc. page. The 1854 large cent I found when sorting mt grandfather on the other sides stuff can join it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

In the end we accumulated: 2 1965 Kennedy halves 40% 20 1964 Kennedy halves 7 1964 Washington quarters 1 1964 Roosevelt dime 8 Morgan dollars 1 Barber half 3 Walking Liberty halves 2 Mercury dimes I found what looks like a really nice 1883 Liberty Nickle in a little tin in another box I've been sorting.
