Took me three USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate boxes (66 pounds of cents in each box) to empty the jar. About $300 face value worth of cents in there. As I was going through it, I started to find some additional copper coins I'd thrown in there. Most of them were commonly seen 1800's world coins (like those Spanish 5 Centimos, Mexican Centavos, French Centimes...etc...plus some Canadian Large Cents.) Best coin I threw in here (not sure why I did it, but I'm glad I found it again) was this 1858 Canadian large cent: [ATTACH=full]703758[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
