Here's a few more of the coins from the wife's grandfathers collection. I think alot of what he collected came from circulation, as I have found very few pieces in 2x2s or anything. He did have some misc coins(commems mostly, newer stuff) from the mint still in the original packaging and 1 or 2 proof sets from 63 and 64 I believe. He had a good deal of circ silver, that I had to explain to the wife's grandmothers was worth basically the silver value, plus a sack full of wheats with some indians thrown in. There are a couple rolls of bicentenial quarters, and a couple SBA rolls as well. These were probably from circ as well, as they are obviously home rolled. I may be wrong, one day I will open them up and see.

Anyways, here's a couple more from the collection.
1900-O Morgan - The wife's grandmother says that my wife actually used this as a teething object when she was a baby.

1945 Walker - This was the best of the lot. As I said, I think these were pulled from circulation

1958-D Franklin - If not for the chatter on the jawline, this would be a nice coin.

1952 GWC-BTW - He had 2 of these. The other was severely cleaned with some sort of silver polish.

Someone in the IHC thread mentioned I should annotate which coins were his, so I am going to print up some small labels in a font and coloration similar to the print already on the pages and use them.

    Best as I can tell with my 10X loupe, it's not. From what I could tell going thru the box, there were no varieties to be found.
