Dad's Stash: 1796 Large Cent

[Hogtown Hunter]

My father passed away 5 years ago and my mom is moving. She came across a box of his old coins so I was going through them and first one out the box is a 1796 penny. Beautiful coin. First Large cent I've ever held. There are shield nickles, IHP, Wheat pennies, Morgans SD, JFK Half dollars, paper money including a Confederate one dollar bill.
Also has a load of foreign coins and tokens. I was able to find a few online. Silver from Mexico, some Asian but most have George 3&4 on them. Last two pics is of foreign coins. One has Julius Caesar on the front. It's a nice big coin. May need to go to ID help page and see if I can get some help from you guys. Thanks for looking.

Glad you got em! My Dad's collection was supposed to go to my brother's kids as an inheritance. They were raided by an unscrupulous family member right after my Pop died. Hold on to them!

Great score! And yes, let’s hope the Mel Fisher gold and silver appears! The Largie appears to have spent some time in the dirt, did your father detect? Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing... Ddf.
