So naturally, when I opened the bag and saw a little ziplock back of coins, I was ECSTATIC.

AND GET THIS: There were (at least) FOUR coins in there from the 1800s, from India, Italy, and a couple other countries that escape me right now. But there were tons of early 20th century coins, and even a couple of Wheaties (1920 and 1942). The earliest is from 1834!!!!! From India!!!! Needless to say, I geeked/freaked out.
