Found vintage coin collection near Cushman Street, Fairbanks

Posted on May 01, 2026

Description

I found a small vintage coin collection this afternoon around 4:15 pm behind the Fairbanks Public Library on Cushman Street. It's tucked in a battered black leather album with a red velvet inner flap and a brass clasp that sticks a bit. Inside are about 30 coins from the early 1900s, mostly copper and silver-tone, with a couple shiny exceptions; I spotted a 1914 Indian Head cent and a gleaming 1954 silver quarter, plus some nickels and a few commemorative pieces. There's a tiny brass magnifier clipped to the inside cover and a handwritten note stained with age that reads 'To Dad.' It looks well-loved, like a genuine collection, and it seems to have sentimental value. If you think these belong to you or someone you know, I want to help get them back.
