Hi Tara, Welcome to CCF...  Great finds... the 1880 .25 cents has low mintage, looks to have been cleaned at one point, value $150.00 or so. The 1886 .10 cents has 3 or 4 varieties on the '6' value $50.00 or there abouts. Would like to have the photos straight on and a bit larger if you would.  |

- both coins at auction on ebay with good clear pictures could easily get you between $400-$500(estimate price for both coins in one auction.)  Edited by 1188howest

They were in a bag behind an old fireplace in the cellar, look like they been there a while was about 25-30 coins of different countrys some of which I have no idea what they are. house dates back to 1910 and been empty since 1986.

 if you're curious about the others ... P.S. do not clean them to make them or the pictures look better. Edited by 1188howest

I am going to put the Canadian coins on ebay how should I describe them? Do I sell them as a lot? Thanks for your help. |

"I" would list them individually.
As far as describing them, as posted above, let's see the pics and the CCF members can give you some descriptions of them and go from there.
