The results will probably come sometime today. I can't wait to post much longer.
Many of these coins were some of my first ones.
I originally selected 48 coins, but narrowed it down to 10 as I didn't want the post to be ridiculously long.

When I moved into my current house at age six, I was in the garage with my dad when he found a little plastic box containing this and one other coin.

Yeah, I knew it was coming. I don't have time to take pictures now, but it's an 1843 British fourpence.

Here's the other coin. As you can see, it's not exactly in the nicest condition.

Could be worse, I suppose.

At least it has sentimental value.
