My grandma passed away 3 years ago, and while we were cleaning out her house we found a coin collection, which turned out to be her mothers collection. Anyway, just these past couple weeks I've been getting pretty interested in the coins and paper money that were in the collection. This is my first post on this forum, so I don't know how to post pictures, but I'll do my best in saying all the coins from the collection, as well as a few that I had laying around that I think are collectable. I thought I would just show off the collection, and maybe get some more information on the coins.
I'll start off with wheat pennies, out of the one or two that I already had, plus those in the collection there are:
1- 1940s (has 2 holes punches in it)
1- 1941
1- 1944(d?)
2- 1946s
1- 1949
1- 1952s
4- 1953 (3s, 1d)
8- 1955 (1d)
1- 1956d
2- 1957d
One weird thing, maybe just because I'm a newbie, is all the 1953 pennies are a lot brighter.
No interesting dimes, but I had one 1967 quarter that appears to have not been laminated (it's got kind of a yellowy tarnished look) but it might be something else.
There are a lot of nickels, all Jefferson:
1- 1938
10- 1939
5- 1940
6- 1941
7- 1942
10- 1946
8- 1947
12- 1948
10- 1949
4- 1951
1- 1952
3- 1953
2- 1955
1- 1958
1- 1961
6- 1964
1- 1967
Also for American coins there is a 1967 half dollar and an 1893 "World's Columbian Exposition Chicago" columbian half dollar
There's also a lot of foreign coins, and sadly since there foreign I have no idea what they are. I do know that there are a few that are aluminum, several from Israel, and some assorted other coins that I'll try to get pictures of or identify later.
There was also a bit of paper money, some of which I know is worth a fair amount.
Starting off, there's a $100 savings bond from 07/1991. It is a series EE (collects interest for 30 years). Then there's a silver certificate dollar bill from 1923, which is quite a bit bigger than modern US paper money.
Starting with the most modern, here is the rest of the US paper money:
5- 1976 $2 (green ink) all have folds, but three are pretty 'crispy'
6- 1963 $2 (red ink) all have fold, 4 pretty crispy
1- 1957 $1 (blue ink) series B that has a star before the serial number
6- 1953 $2 (red ink) 3 series B, 2 C and 1 without a 'series', all folded, 4 are pretty crispy
9- 1935 $1 (blue ink) 1 series A, 3 E, 1 F and 4 G, all folded 1 or 2 are pretty crispy
Theres also a 1981 50 pesos, and two Asian bills, one I think is a 50 Sen around WW2 time, the other is a 5 Yen, not sure on the year though.
