<p>[QUOTE=&quot;p91, post: 275011, member: 6174&quot;](Pictures at the bottom)</p><p><br /></p><p>Just the other day I was thinking to myself... &quot;I cant be the only one in my family that&#039;s been into coins... I wonder if my relatives have&quot; - couple days later my dad returned from my Grandmas with a Crown Royal bag with a bunch of coins!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My Grandpas brother, who died from a heart attack at age 39 collected these coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our favorite by far is the 1852 large cent, it comes with a note attached that explains it was a &quot;pocket piece&quot; from my great-great grandfather Sven, given on his 88th birthday in 1919 to his daughter... he kept to comemmorate his voyage from calmar sweden in 1852</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know your not supposed to clean coins , but I&#039;ve heard from people that they remove green from copper and nickels - do you practice this? if so how? I want to preserve this coin more than keep it for physical value...the value is in not seeing it carrode into nothing since its a family heirloom</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I couldn&#039;t believe it. a Hobo Nickel! I&#039;ve always wanted one! It&#039;s a nice 1914-S too! Definitely and original because this coin collection hasn&#039;t been added to since 1957 and alot were probably put together long before then.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3 morgans, commemorative 1883 halfs, an 1878 seated half that doesnt sound or feel heavy enough to be silver??</p><p>1923 and 1925 comem halfs... lots of v-nickels, some common silver and quarters... bunch of barber dimes.. few foreign coins (1919 swiss coin, 1872 one shilling) Indian Head pennies, 1865 and 1864... kinda beat up but still good.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I cant believe there was a 1943 filled die ghost-4 steel penny - the second i&#039;ve found in 2 days! there were also some wheats and some nice 1943-S steelies</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>two 1913-D buffalo nickels!! It was so awsome to find out what a &#039;type 1&#039; and &#039;type 2&#039; were, and find out I had both!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Two 1915-S $2.50 gold comemm. and a 1915-S $1 Gold Panama Pacific comemm. in amazing shape!! - I think we&#039;re going to get these 2 coins graded - what do you suggest? $6 was alot of $ to save back in 1915!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture334.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture330.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture329.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture331.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture332.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture333.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture335.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/photosector/Picture336.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
