And when I say just inherited them, I mean they we left me me when I was 16 and they were given to my mom for save keeping. She then lost them and then found then this week, some 12 years later. The coins came from my great-grandmother. She left them for me because when I was a small child we used to sit and look at them together. So here they are... 1815 Capped Bust   1835 Capped Bust 1  1835 Capped Bust 2   1857 Liberty Seated half dime  1872 Shield nickel  1875 Liberty Seated Twenty Cent 1   1875 Liberty Seated Twenty Cent 2   1893 World's Columbian Exposition   1901 Half Eagle   1943D Liberty Walking Half   1944 Liberty Walking Half   |

They both "S" mint marks. I didn't know where to find the mints mark, but I figured it out after looking again.

Wow dude, that is an awesome set of coins to inherit. Not to mention valuable, not that you would ever sell because the sentimental value is far more cherishable.

No I wouldn't. My great-grandmother taught me alot of things and it was very touching to learn that she wanted me to have these.
