Still $25 -$40. My grandparents knew they'd be worth a lot. I still have a couple of sets of these little books with coins in them. Penny, nickle, dimes and quarters. The pennys are copper, the nickles are nickel and the dimes and quarters are silver. They are stashed around here somewhere, but I haven't' seen them in a couple of yrs.

I think all of us can tell stories about how our great-great or great grandmother/father came across on a wagon. My Great grandfather rode west to Spokane from Wisconsin on a horse when he was 21 and shortly after he got settled in his father and mother came west with the rest of the family by wagon. My husband's ggrandfather came to ND by sled dog from Nova Scotia when he was 3............I think they were illegal immigrants............built a cabin on the prairie and set off to mine gold. We have a watch fob made from his ggrandmother's hair and the gold his ggrandfather mined.

I could go on and on! ;)
