I did a version of this in the US coin section. (Yes, I'm making a weird crumb trail for myself out of these threads.)
http://goccf.com/t/276987The short story is that I found some old coins my grandpa was collecting while he was alive. Some of them seem intrinsically interesting (like the Nazi coins and the old Chinese coins).
He had in his collection some Canadian coins. I don't know anything about them and have no reason to think they're interesting. But before I do something with them, I'm checking to see if they are of any particular interest to the coin collecting community.
These coins are actually in (to a non-collector's eyes) pretty decent condition. But they're not really *that* old.
I can take pictures of any of them if there's interest in them. Here's the list of coins.
3 Pennies: 1969, 1971, and 1975
1 Nickel: 1962
1 Dime: 1974
3 Quarters: 1968, 1974, and 1978
And in the event that these are not interesting coins, what suggestions do you have for what can be done with them? I live in the US nowhere close to the Canadian border. It's not a lot of money, so I'd probably spend more on gas than the coins are worth driving to somewhere to try to exchange them.
