So I intended to spend my afternoon searching through two boxes of Lincoln cents I got from the bank. However, when I opened the boxes, I was annoyed to find they both contained nothing but 2012-D BU rolls. While still steaming from this, one of my friends called and asked if I could help he and his father get a few things out of the attic at his father's house in preparation for a downsizing sale. Having nothing better to do, I agreed, and off I went.

We pulled several large boxes out of the attic and I helped briefly glance through them for anything interesting to put in the sale. Fortune was smiling on me and good karma paid off. Here's what I found (and my friend's dad said I could have for helping him out):

My friend's dad said his father used to collect coins and would collect them from people who traveled around the world. He also went a few places too apparently. He knows I collect coins and said they were better off in my collection than they were sitting in a bag inside a box in storage. I will give them a good home.
