Was moving some things for my Mother today, picked up an old milk can she has and heard some change roll around. Popped the lid and found about 15 pennys inside, including these. 1920 S,1935,1946,1946,1952 and 1956. The 1920 looks better than it scanned.   Edited by Lion4Life

Nice find, you could go through a 100 coin rolls to find even half that many.
Check the rest of the house. Had a friend who's mother passed away and everybody said she hid money in the house. They spent days looking, couldn't find anything.
Months later he was reading an old journal she had written, she stated she would sew rolls of money into the top of her drapes, well, too late, they removed all drapes and curtains and threw them away to sell the house. So one never knows!

Thanks everybody.
sgtbigred, my sister-in-law had an uncle that didn't trust banks. He was a little on the paranoid side so he use to bury money in the back yard in jars. He sold the place before he passed, only problem was he forgot where he stashed most of it.
Worked with a lady whose grandmother had passed away, they knew she hid money around the house. When they went through it they found money in books, in seat cushions and moeny stuffed in the chimney pipe of an old wood stove.
