He'd go through his change every night and sort out the silver ones. We found two sacks of silver coins in the safe when he died. They are not worth much as collectibles, because they are not in great shape on average. We split them up among Dad's children and my husband, who collects coins went through them. I'm keeping the rest just as a memento.
