My son sometimes cleans out abandoned houses. If he finds old coins he usually gives them to me. Usually it is a Wheat penny or 2. The one he did on Monday had these hidden in closet. Don't know anything about these...but I will take free silver coins any day.     What do ya think...Good find? My favorite is the 3 Mercury dime set. |

Personally I like the "yesteryear" set the most. I'm still missing the half dollar to complete a set of my own. I can't say much for values but the silver coins are pretty worn, and this is where most of the value is. The holders are nice but I don't think you'll get much for them. Considering you got these for free I think it's a splendid deal.  |

Nothing rare date wise...but free coins is always nice. I agree with half....start a nice 20th century type set or go for a complete type set with these helping that set. Either way nice score.

Steel cent looks to be in good shape. Great find, he's a regular treasure hunter.

Nice group of coins for a really wonderful price. These were assembled with low grade coins to sell as "sets" to folks who are really not collectors.
None the less, they include nice silver coins which have good value just for being silver.
