I got a big cleanout bid for a reality company. This place has been empty since last year and the grass is 4 feet tall. I finished cleaning out the house with nothing spectacular in there. Started in the outbuilding and bang....the thrill is back. I have a whole building of nothing but tools and tool boxes but I haven't got to that one yet....:laughing7: I wanted to show what I found in the first building that looked like total junk...let me know what you think.....

cool find. looks like they're gold plated? my personal opinion is that plating destroys any numismatic collector value of the coins, but they still at least retain a bicentennial collectable value. could be also that the Ike is a type one. got a pic of the reverse?
