You can still find Rexalls all over Edmonton - one of our big arenas is sponsored and named "Rexall Place". Maybe the chain was exiled to Canada?

The fact that it's a pretty random hoard that has some hundred year old stuff is awesome! Incredible!

Think about the lady that held this through the last few decades of her life. There may have been times she needed the money, but chose to save this.
Nice find, and a prayer for her that has passed.

Quite a cool find! I love the smell of dirty silver  I remember seeing lots of Rexalls around central Arkansas when I was a kid. Been years now since I've seen one though. |

This is cool! When you showed a picture of Bag #2, I seriously held my breath when I kept scrolling down and saw all the Peace dollars and Walking Liberty half dollars! How cool is that?!! I'm glad you were able to buy this collection. Congratulations!

Great find! I've helped friends and relatives with coins before but not to such an extent. It's a great feeling to be able to assist someone after a death in the family. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post.
