My brother the other day handed me a bunch of very old coins and stamps and try and find there value. My father passed away 22 years and we found the stuff in storage.
The 500 or so stamps are in great shape and all from the 1800's to early 1900's...
The coins...this is several of them I found just googling around. The coins I have our in very good shape but just kept in a shoe box put together ---so the age shows...but here are some examples...
1889 $1 coin the "o"
