My grandmother just dug out my childhood coin collection and sent it to me!
I was going through it remembering going through random change and thinking how lucky to find a wheat or pre 1965 silver! Man, back in the days where you had a 50/50 chance of finding a wheat or silver in any handful of change were awesome! (I'm 30 for perspective)
The whole collection is worth a hundred at the most, probably less, but to me its priceless!
I'll have to put a picture of my old Mercury's they all have this similiar toning which I haven't seen before. Unfortunately they are all also Fine or worse condition.
I'll have to quit typing now as the tears of joy are streaming

Neato! Now if you realize you have a 1913 liberty nick, you'll have to decide to keep the sentimental value, or take the cash...
