Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 12/26/2006 11:17 am Having just recently reviving my coin collecting habits, I was sharing some of my recent purchases with my sister. To my surprise, she did not know that I had ever been really interested in coins. Well, yesterday she showed up with a huge three ring binder full of foreign coins. By quick count there are about 250 of them. Apparently, back when she was in school and working as a waitress she was very considerate of an elderly gentleman and one day he came in and gave this to her. It has been tucked away for 20+ yrs. He traveled the world with his job and collected these coins. The oldest is a 1911 and run thru the early 70s. Just a guess, but there are at least 50 countries represented. I am lost. She would like me to go thru them and give here an overview of what she has. I have no reference material or any idea where to start. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
