Dads "Cache"

Dad's "Cache"

Took my daughter to the folks last night for dinner and my Dad and I got to talking about his Navy days. For some reason or another the subject turned to old coins. He told me that he kept a bunch of "oddballs" that he found interesting. This was news to me because he managed to never mention this before. My mother didn't even know about them (my father is the kind of guy that when he puts something away for safe-keeping - he forgets about it until you remind him - a good thing in my book for the most part ). Needless to say, he disappears for five minutes and comes back to the table with a small wooden box and three old envelopes. Turns out he has approximately twenty dollars in wheaties (I'll be sorting through them this week) and some old U.S. coins. There are also a few old Canadian coins and Cuban coins (any help with their value would be greatly appreciated). I apologize now for all the pictures - told my Dad that I would shoot them individually for recording purposes. Pretty sure they're sized correctly. This is my first post here on T'net but certainly not my last. I actually registered back in '07 and had ordered an Ace 250 but I had to put my life on hold as I started a "battle" for custody of my daughter Izzy. Thankfully, I now have sole custody of her, and she very much enjoys coming with me on our little relic hunts. I will hopefully be getting a detector soon and my daughter will be getting hers for Christmas. Thanks for checking this (my first official post!) out. Looking forward to seeing and sharing many more! Happy Hunting to all...


These links are to parts 2 & 3 of this post. More pictures of coins - any help on the foreign coins is appreciated...
