Not just the American rarities, but look at the hammered gold too!

"However, as I don't know anything about coins, I felt it was worth checking out." Just the sort of things you hear about regularly on FleaBay. Nice that it is a genuine find this time.

I won't even give that for them - I sell them on my market stall for 50p! I keep the tray of them there as much to persuade people that their coins are not valuable as to actually sell any. (They do go occasionally as souvenirs.)

Someone sent this to me the other day - it looks like the tin is full of valuable coins. Hardly the usual tin of granny's coins.
