Cool Finds from My Grandparents Coin Box

Went to my grandparents house today and they gave me a box full of mostly quarters, nickels, dimes and Pennies to look through. I have found some cool finds so far and I thought I would share my finds just for the fun of it. I don’t know much about them but it is going to be fun to go through.

Cool coins. I heard that 1887 was a great year.

As someone whose coin collecting began about 1968 with a Kansas grandma telling me I could keep a Barber dime found just outside the carriage-room door, I feel that. In case you don't know what you have, the second coin down is a Russian Imperial 2 kopek; I do not see its obverse in the group photo, but it's certainly late Imperial. Below it is an Israeli coin of 1 agorah from the 70s or 80s, which I assume was demonetized in one of Israel's revaluation of its coinages. The date there is on the other side as well, but it'll be in JE and probably won't make much sense to you.
