Mostly 40's and 50's.
Found a couple of S mints, but the neatest finds were 2 filled 9's, a filled B, and a BIE. All 57-D.
Minor varieties, I know, but still neat to find.

That is cool. Simple things like that is great fun for us coin nerds. The other day at a Quick-Chek someone left 22 Lincolns by the coffee bar. I noticed one was a wheatie. Nobody around..... I scooped them up & left a quarter in their spot otherwise I would've felt like I was stealing. It was a well circulated 1925. I liked it so I stuffed it in a flip and put it in the misc box.
Now if they were laying in the parking lot I would NOT have left the quarter.....
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Grandma's are the best
Grandma/grandpa's sock drawers can produce interesting coins....unfortunately, many of them never hit the numismatic venues... Cheers, RickO
My mother had an antique dresser. My son discovered a couple English coins hidden within after I gave the dresser to him following her death. It's fun to discover such things!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
