<p>[QUOTE="Rushmore, post: 26727867, member: 17011"]My dad died in 2006 he promised me before he died I could have Grandpa's coin collection which I got. Grandpa died in 1975 so the coins were in the family at least since then. The coins were an assortment of Morgan and Peace Dollars, Indian Head Cents, Liberty Head Nickels, a Walking Liberty Half 1946, Franklin Half Dollar 1954, Two Cents, 1867 and 1872 3 Cents, 1853 Half Dime, 1852 Large Cent, 1866 Shield Nickel, 1898 Barber Quarter, 1911 and 1912 Barber Dimes, dateless Buffalo Nickel, 1930-S Buffalo Nickel, dateless Standing Liberty Quarter, some fractional currency, and some foreign coins such as 1931 Canada Nickel, 1918 Canada Quarter, 1904 and 1909 Canada silver 5 cents, 1917 India 1/4 Rupee, 1839 BB France 5 Franc, 1954 South Africa Farthing, 1951 Mexico 20 Centavo, and 1890 Mexico 5 Centavo. He was born in 1905 and his parents lived from 1870 -1968 so it's possible he inherited them from one of them. and the coins older than 1870 they could have gotten in change or inherited as well. As for the foreign coins don't know how they would have been obtained as I don't think Grandpa and great grand parents ever traveled outside the states, Canada and Mexico possibly but definitely not out of North America.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
