<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1342186, member: 16269&quot;]After weeks of delays, I finally purchased the estate late last night. The box must weigh at least 60 pounds and I almost threw my back out loading it into the car. I stayed up as long as I could sorting and peeking into the dozens of bags. I managed to get through about 1/10th of it before I went to bed. This morning, I&#039;m at work, then there&#039;s a coin show, then work again for a couple of hours and then back to the boxes. </p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to the coins that I had appraised, the seller tossed in a sack of wheats that she found and another small bag of world silver. She also added an envelope of paper money. No idea what&#039;s in it but I think it&#039;s all world banknotes. </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of the highlights so far.....1925 Canada cent (key date); an album of Canada 50 cent pieces 1937-1967 (less the key dates); an 1848 U.S. Large cent; 1935 Canada silver dollar (ms63) and a 1939 Canada silver dollar (ms64).</p><p><br /></p><p>Pics will be posted tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;ll take a while to go through the whole thing. I&#039;ve been watching for the oldest coin for the contest but I still need at least tonight to finish sorting. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, we&#039;re getting closer to the end of the contest. If anyone hasn&#039;t entered yet, do so as soon as possible. I&#039;ll end the contest when I find the oldest coin and post a new thread announcing the winner.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/">http://www.cointalk.com/t195945/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
