Hi,
This is my very first post. After my Grandparents passed away, our old family home was given to my Father. After he passed away, the home was given to my Sister and I.
The 1885 farmhouse is located near Gastonia, NC. While cleaning the attic, I found some very old wooden boxes. In one of the boxes was an envelope that said, "Old Money". So, I made a huge image of the money yesterday. I posted it on my guitar website. (I make guitars in my spare time). I am interested in finding out about the items and perhaps selling them? I don't know the asking price since I don't know much about it, and / or the grading system of the items.
Click the link below for the large image. It is huge, so it will take a little longer to show up on your screen depending your your connection speed.
*** Web link removed by Staff. Please do not post web links with your email and a solicitation to sell. By all means, share the photos here and ask questions. ***
Thanks for any help!

 The paper money experts will chime in momentarily. All I can tell you is that the US coins you have pictured at the bottom would go for between $100 and $175 for the entire lot. Cool find! I'm anxious to see these old bank notes identified, and find out what they are worth. |

First off, welcome! I did a quick glance over everything and it appears everything is genuine. Mecklenburg $2 Obsolete Note: $200 range 7 $10 Confederate notes: $20 - $40 each 3 $5 Confederate notes: $30 each 2 $1 Confederate notes: Top one $40 --- Bottom one $20 $2 Confederate note: $40 Raleigh $5: $40 - $50 The Twenty Cent note is probably around $30-$40. Only found one sold in 2008 when I did a quick search. The partial $1 note below that one is probably around $10 at most. Hope this helps! |

The US coins are silver, left to right 1924-S Peace $1 1922 Peace $1 1886 Morgan $1 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime or dime depending on the size 1854 Seated Liberty half dimeThe last two were likely holed to wear as jewelry or a similar purpose. |

If you decided to keep these little treasures in the family, I suggest you store them properly. Look up 'achival storage' for coins and paper money. I think it would be great if these were kept in your family for many generations to come. |

Hi Telewrangler The US coins and notes look interesting, and the experts have already given their opinions! I'm afraid none of the five foreign coins are of particular value - they are the sort you find in junk trays in coin shops. From left to right: - Mexico 1 Peso 1978, cupro-nickel - France 50 Francs 1953, aluminium-bronze - United Kingdom 1 penny 1971, bronze (this coin is still current for about one and a half US cents) - France 5 Francs 1949B, aluminium. The 'B' is a mintmark for Beaumont-le-Roger, which makes this slightly scarcer than the Paris Mint issue, but still a very common coin with a mintage of about 48 million. - Mexico 10 Pesos 1977, cupro-nickel.

Not just Half Dimes. There are tons and tons of all sorts of holed coins - even ancients. They could have been used for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, or any other type of jewelery really. If this type of coin (old copper large cent) wasn't so dear to me, I would consider buying one with a hole in it to put on my keychain. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271560663539?nav=SEARCHEdited by scottk
