Owner Comments:

When I was a kid, we use to explore abandon houses from the turn of the century (1800/1900) in Duluth. One house I found a small rusted tin and inside were a bunch of these coins as well as 2c and 3c silvers. Well, thinking they were play money from some game I just tossed them. Later as an adult I would learned I tossed some fine coins away. So I made sure my kids knew about coins by sharing my hobby when they grew up.
