The photograph on Ebay didn't reveal a lot; I just got the impression that the box had been filled over generations. Among the few cents, I noticed two wheat ear reverse cents and only few 21st century coins.
Foreign finds:
- Italian Lira 0.20 (1921), copper-nickel with the same diameter as a nickle.
- 8 current UK coins of 5p (have the same diameter as a dime). One of these obviously showed on the photo. The reeds of a 5p coin are coarser and it doesn't have a 'copper edge'.
Older coins:
- 5 wheat ear reverse cents: 1926 - 1944
- 5 nickles 1939-1945(S)
- a 1943 mercury dime (toned and barely circulated)
- a 1958 Roosevelt dime
- a 1950 Washington quarter (worn)
Over $20 in current quarters, dimes and nickles.
