<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AdamL, post: 153476, member: 6029&quot;]Yes, grandma will be getting a big hug, a big thank you, and I&#039;ll probably mow her yard and help with some chores this weekend (which I&#039;ve been meaning to do anyway).</p><p>I found out a little more about the box. My late grandfather tucked it away about 20 years ago. About half the coins were U.S., half were foreign. My grandparents were world travelers, and got most of the foreign ones during those travels. There was one particular envelope in the box that were from all over the pacific rim in the 30&#039;s and 40&#039;s which we beleive my grandfather picked up while serving with the navy on a PT boat in WW2. Anyway, I found nothing worth a fortune. But it was really a treat to search over a century of coins!! The oldest was an 1877 brittish penny. The newest was a 1985 german 5 pfennings.</p><p>The only wheaties that I didn&#039;t find were: 1909 VDB, 1909-S, 1909-S VDB, and all of the 1922&#039;s and 23&#039;s.</p><p>Barber quarters included 1908-D, 1912, 1916-D, 1892-O, and 1902. Some of the coins were in decent condition, some were not. And like I said, nothing worth a whole lot. But, searching a 108-year span of coins that my grandfather tucked away 20 years ago was quite a treat. Thanks for listening to my story freinds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
