<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skippy Topaz, post: 7399899, member: 76224&quot;]So, I’ve been organizing all of my old coins the last week or so (I don’t really have any great coins, just stuff I collected as a kid and have plucked from circulation over the years, and my wife decided to bring out a box that her dad left for our kids a few years ago. I knew she had it but never looked through it and today had a chance to check them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>He was born in 1919 and only died a few years ago at 95 years old and was very frugal and I had to laugh looking at the containers he used to keep all of his coins… Old medicine bottles full of Morgan and Peace Dollars, other ones filled with silver quarters Silver Eagle Dollar coins, cigar tubes full of Barber, Mercury and Franklin silver dimes, a tube of Buffalo nickels etc... he re-used old Half-Dollar wraps and put Liberty, Franklin and Kennedy silver Halves in them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over all most of them are in average condition, though there were few Morgan Dollars in really nice shape but the cool surprises were a 1898 $10 Gold Eagle, 1852 Quarter Eagle and a 2006 Gold Buffalo dollar coin all in really great shape</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s a photo of about a third of the stash (and apparently my wife&#039;s siblings also received a similar stash, so I have no idea what other yet-to-be-discovered items there might be … )</p><p><br /></p><p>Was fun looking through them, kind of feels like finding buried treasure or something <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1287133[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
