a little silver for the box.

Just tracking my progress.

Canadian half dollars.

GR, you should consider picking up some Philippines silver coins. They are really attractive and they don't cost a whole lot...

I'm kind of late getting in on this one, oh well. I had the same idea about 10 years back, and I went down to Hobby Lobby and purchased my treasure chest. Every year I would try and fill it up, and I actually succeeded a couple of times, until the wife said enough! I even enjoy filling up cigar boxes with Indian arrowheads.
