chumpchange Valued Member Canada 98 Posts	Posted 12/22/2008 06:43 am Well after calling my grandfather on his christmas vacation to find out how the coins all ended up there, he said about 30 years ago my fathers youngest brother had got into his coin collection when he was about 5 years old and started putting them in every little slot in the house he could find, he said for years they were refinding them in ther radios, couches, toys just were ever he had been playing. He was happy that I found them , but he gave them to me for the cleaning job. God bless grampa. Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 12/22/2008 09:51 am Hello, neat find, I'm always looking around my house for old coins tucked away such as the neat find you have. However, in my case, I just realized my house is only 2 years old and I'm the original owner So much for finding any goodies. It looks like you have two KEY dates in your possession, judging by the dates you mentioned. Have the 1933 and the 1931 nickels checked out by a grader! You never know, you may have an MS-65 worth thou$and$? Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 12/22/2008 2:07 pm Get those checked out by someone who can give them a grade, and if you in particular are interested, I would recommned the 2009 CHarlton Catalogue of Canadian Coins. Its inexpensive- only $20, and it is invaluable in terms of descriptions, values, and information. cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
