"Coins are another possible attic treasure Last year, when the estate  of a Denver man was being settled, his son found two rolls of dimes in  his safety deposit box. The dimes were new. One roll was of 1921 dimes  marked “D” to show they had been minted In Denver. They were worth 30c  each of triple their original value. But the other roll was of 1916  Denver mintage worth $175 or $3.50 each. An 1876 quarter minted in Carson City is worth more than $500, an  1838 half-dollar with an “O” beneath the bust more than $1,000. In  recent years a 1913 Liberty head nickel sold for $3,750 and an 1804  silver dollar for $10,500. Old medals may be worth a lot, too. The medal awarded to those who  took part in the famous “Charge of the Light Brigade” is valued at  $10,000."[/QUOTE]
