Update 4-23 cleaned them up a bit , turns out # 3 is a Union Flour CW token D.L. Wing & Co. NY, NY According to my research , flour was exactly seven cents a pound in the late 1860's , could it be this person was going to town to buy some ,

Awesome! I could see a nickle and a penny. What are the other coins, and if you could give us years as well?

wow,, i would have **** a brick,,,,,

An awesome find! It may be nice to know every single detail. What dates, denominations, mint marks, color of the rust inside, how deep, what did it sound like, what was the vdi, etc., etc., etc. LOL

BUT, the KEY part of it is that you found this awesome box full of goodies!! NO NEED , (for me), to know any more than you've already shared. I love it!

Thanks!

HH!

My luck: it would be empty, but you're lucky you're not me. Very nice!

Looks like a large cent, 2 cent piece, and shield nickel. Sweet finds!

Now that is what we all hope for everytime we find any old container while detecting, sure nice to know that some do actually contain some goodies!! Big Congrat on the finds.

Cool find, Hard to top that one.
I'd like to know more about the coins also.

 

[jewelerguy]

oh man that's incredible. I think that is the oldest change purse/container with coins I've ever seen posted. Super cool! I see the large cent and shield nickel, but what is the other coin? almost looks like a civil war token or something.

Isn't that what you get in Cracker Jacks What a compact little find, congrats on the piggy bank...

 

[vpnavy]

Neat find. It looks like something a young pup would have had - bet he (or she) felt bad when they lost it CMDiamonddawg!

That shield nickel is in awesome shape- the case really protected it through all those decades. Congrats!
