<p>[QUOTE="LuckyDoggy, post: 2401112, member: 74905"]I received this box from my Grandfather who had just recently passed away. It was an old lock box which didn't have a key, it was in the original cardboard box. I figured it was empty as my Grandfather spent his later years going to garage sales and estate sales buying tons of cool random things. Anything I would mention or suggest he would find and buy three of them, lol. I had told him I wanted to get a small lockable safe to keep some things in. Anyways after he passed I was going through a bunch of items he left me and came across this. Talking to my Aunt she told me my Grandmother who worked at a bank collected these coins with my Grandfather and had been left untouched in the safe. I have yet to look through all of them to look for key dates ect... I'll post the results soon. Thanks for looking. Here are a few pictures of some of the coins. All are 1964 or older, some from the 1800's.[ATTACH=full]494841[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494842[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494851[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
