Hey, that's something! My 88 year old grandfather recently passed, and
he did something similar. We now have a couple jars full of coins.
Some of which are newer, like 1970's half dollars that are worth very
little. But there are quite a few silver coins that he just tossed into
jars when they were new in circulation. I found some back to the 1800's
that must have been odd-ball coins that weren't commonly seen in
circulation by the 1940's - 1950's... he likely just put them aside and
sat on them. My extent of collecting these days is about the same... I
simply set them aside when I find a rare silver dime in circulation, a
wheat penny, or whatever catches my eye.
