<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TC2007, post: 503680, member: 9248&quot;]<b>UPDATE:</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, I finally got to take a look at the contents of the suitcase my father-in-law found in his mother&#039;s attic.&nbsp; While it&#039;s not exactly the &quot;hoard&quot; that I was hyperventilating over, it still was a pretty nice find.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First , there were 43 Morgans.&nbsp; No key dates or CC&#039;s, but did include an &#039;86-S and uncircultated 1884, 1899, 1900, and 1901.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>About 25 Peace dollars, again all commons.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll need a little help with this one.&nbsp; A silver dollar-sized coin, &quot;Republica Mexicana&quot;, 1877.&nbsp; 8 R. Do&nbsp; C.P. 10Ds.&nbsp; 20G.&nbsp; Any idea what this is?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also were Large Cents from 1818, 1826, 1848, and 1851.&nbsp; Scattered about were some SLQ&#039;s, Barber quarters, and 1861 Seated dime, Buffalo Nickels, War Nickels (complete set), Indian Head cents, including a replica 1877 that is about 1/3 actual size. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, this is where the weight of the suitcase comes into play.&nbsp; There were mint sets and proof sets dating from the mid-sixties to the early eighties.&nbsp; My wife&#039;s grandfather also served in WWII, so that would explain the 12 proof Ikes in the big brown cases, and several rolls of circulated Ikes.&nbsp; There was about 40 OBW rolls of 1973-S cents.&nbsp; Another nice find was a 2 inch stack of $2 bills from the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Although it wasn&#039;t the hoard I had advertised last year, it was still a lot of fun going through this little bit of family history with my father-in-law.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, I almost forgot the best part, he gave them all to me!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
