Great Grandma's Coins
Have not been on the TNet sight to post for a long time. Nor have I been able to go metal detecting.
Long story short, we have been working at my great grandma's house cleaning and going through stuff on the weekends as she has been put in a nursing home. Sucks to get old and be physically good, but mentally out of it! 90 years old though, so that is amazing in itself.
Anyways, here are some finds. Couple of nice scores in her home and safety deposti box.
The first one, I about Dekalbed
(new TNet word just for Ed!) myself when I saw it! Yes, 1798 Draped Bust Dime! 209 years old! Very worn and holed, but still cool. Is it worth anything since it is so bad? You all be the judge. Never held a coin this old. It was a weird feeling, that made me think about all that has gone on, and how it survived. If only it talked! 
Also, some cool foreign coins, including the 1831 5 Francs (silver dollar size), and lots of Canadian silver dimes and quarters.
Oh, and about forgot, a cool 1846 Big Penny. Decent shape penny.
Anyways, thanks for looking, and any comments on condition or value is appreciated!
