Vintage coin collection in red pouch

I found a vintage coin collection this afternoon around 4:15pm behind the Lafayette Antique Market on West Pinhook Road. It’s tucked in a small red leather pouch about 6x4 inches, with a brass zipper that’s a bit tarnished. Inside are roughly 40 coins from the 1800s to early 1900s—mostly silver-toned, some with green patina, and a couple that gleam. One coin is a Barber dime with a tiny scratch near the date, and there’s a faded hand-written note in the pouch that says 'To Dad'. A small brass ship charm hangs from the zipper pull, which is a unique identifying feature. I’d really like to get this back to its owner; if you recognize it, tell me about the note on the pouch and the coins’ dates.
