Currency for Christmas!(pic heavy)

[Keith1212]

Since I recently started detecting and getting into coins my mother gave me her collection of currency us and foreign. Nothing worth alot, but it's the start of a great collection. Also I added some pics of the coins I had before I started detecting and the ones I found while detecting.


Here's a ton of wheats I got.^


1920's^


1930's^


1940's^


1950's^


Steel wheats^


steel wheats back^


appears to be a steel memorial to me. It looks weird though like the outer edge is copper.^^

Now to the good us currency..











1993 silver half^


Here's the lot of foreign currency i received and a casino token from the us also.









paper currency us and foreign.



My mother kept these because they have her birth date on them which is 1963. One is red ink which is neat.



no idea of the value..I'm sure not much.^



again no idea^^

Next is what i had before I started detecting and the rest I found while detecting.


Found only the merc in this pic.^


Found only the wheat in this pic.^


And the rest of the wheats I found in this pic.^

any info on anything is appreciated. merry Christmas all.

That 1917 standing liberty quarter is a great pick up! Great condition and that type 1 coin may be worth upwards of $50 to $100 and maybe more!

nope it was given to me today also. yea I know what you mean I sold a 1928 G Red Seal Two Dollar Bill for 13.50 and two 1942 walking liberty halfs for 8.50. I won't make that mistake again.

I keep looking at this 1960 d memorial penny. Its a copper penny but it has a silver plate on it. Both sides are silver. The edge is copper all the way around except a spot where the silver hasn't quite worn off and it connects to the silver on the back.

The M's and W's aren't mint marks... for the Mercury you would find the mint mark on the reverse side of the coin... The Standings are on the opposite side where you see the M of lady liberty...
