jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 04:16 am Here is a picture from 1917 of my family. I wonder what what the coins or currency they had in their pockets. Perhaps this one? Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

CherreePicker Valued Member 440 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 07:51 am I remember seeing coins laying around my grandfathers house when I was a kid. Lots of Mercury dimes, Indian Head cents, SLQ's, & Buffalo nickels. If I only knew then what I know now. Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 5:15 pm As long as you're dreaming. He probably just got change from a merchant for a recent transaction. The merchant passed him a couple of quarters from a mint roll he just picked up at the bank dated 1916. Had he put them securely away with the instructions not to be opened until 2016, you'd have between $30K and $75K potentially waiting for you. Cool picture. Report this Post to the Staff
