Most prized of his possessions are his coins, which occupy two cases. The oldest coin is Pompeian and it is estimated that it was coined about 200 BC. In the collection are 40 coins from 40 foreign countries, and many old coins from the U. S. Prized among these are a 50c gold piece, 1871; $1 gold piece, 1851; $3 gold piece, 1854; the oldest U. S. coin is an 1808 half dollar. The paper money includes “shin plasters” of Civil War days, ranging from 3c to 50c and one dollar bills.
World and Civil War relics fill three cases. These include an 1855 Whitney military rifle, a muzzle loader; a German rifle used in the World War, and U. S. army Springfield rifle used in the Spanish-American war.
One case contains World War medals and ribbons collected at various conventions. Another case is used for family relics, of which one of the most interesting is the check for the first family auto purchased by C. O. Sellon, his father, on April 4, 1911. The remaining two cases are filled with rock specimens and formations
