<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 192182, member: 6032"]i started when my dad gave me a 1940-1958 collection of wheaties. this was 3 years ago. he also let me go through his huge jar with old notes, and old coins and metals. these coins in his jar are EXTREMELY old. he found them in circulation when he was my age back in 1960. suprisingly, there were no indian head cents. just a bunch of wheaties , mercury dimes, liberty nickels, buffalo nickels, silver rooselvelts, a few silver quarters, including a blank silver dime and quarter planchet, a few ikes and 1 1921 morgan. he also has a bunch of silver certificates, and red ink $5 bills. he also has a quarter gallon cup filled with S mint memorials! he has about $20 worth in S mint merorials! i couldn't belive it when i saw it. he also has a large stamp collection with about 100 or so stamps that are also VERY OLD! he also has some commemoratives and a 1986? silver eagle. this was 3 years ago when i went through this. i don't want to ask him to go through it again, because he dosn't like to get it out. it is in a very fragile jar and it is paked far down in the basement. oh well, it dosen't matter! there is possibly rare coins in it too! so he says!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />hya:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
