I posted a few months ago about a box of coins that my father in law gave me that supposedly belonged to civil war general Butler. In that box was a bunch of foreign coins and a fugio cent in VG condition.
Well I was pretty excited when I was at my inlaws yesterday and my mother in law told me she had some more coins for me. Turns out these were mostly silver coins that they picked out of circulation in the 50s - 60s but still some pretty cool stuff.
1879 morgan(AU/MS)
1923 peace Dollar(AU/MS)
2 Walking liberty halves (F) 1942, 1945
1953 Franklin(F)
12 1964 Kennedy Halves
40 circulated mercury dimes
a couple war nickels and buffalo nickels
I started going through the coins while I was at my in-laws to try to spark the interest of one of my nephews who is about the age I was when I started collecting but he lost interest quickly. Too bad for him because I was going to give him the lot if he seemed interested.
Looks like I am now goung to need to complete that collection of circulated mecury dimes. Should take me a while. Pretty little coins aren't they.
