Message:: [QUOTE="Jimmyv, post: 7583907, member: 118201"]A short while back when I first became a member of CoinTalk, I had mentioned in my first post that my wife and I, 25 years ago, came across some hidden treasures in the basement of an old house we were cleaning out to put on the market. The owners, who had died within a month of each other at a ripe old age, were related to my wife. They had no children.After a weekend of backbreaking work emptying the contents of the house, we filled up a 30 yard dumpster. The owners were heavy smokers and everything reeked. We finally headed down to the basement, steps were broken, two overhead lightbulbs was all the light we had. My wife discovered a paper grocery bag behind an old washing machine, which backed up to shelves holding jarred food. Thinking it was just garbage, she handed it to me and I was shocked to see that it contained coins. U.S. and foreign.Mostly copper with some silver. Here's a sample of the discovery.[ATTACH=full]1306824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1306824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1306825[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1306826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1306827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1306828[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
