Red coin tin with vintage coins, GR-87 sticker

I lost my red metal coin tin containing a small vintage coin collection yesterday around 3pm near the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street. The tin is about the size of a deck of cards, bright red with a dented lid and a faded green sticker on top that reads GR-87. Inside there are roughly 40 coins, including a couple buffalo nickels and a 1944 steel cent, plus a hand-written catalog tag on the inside rim that says 'A.N. 1950s'. This collection has real sentimental value—it belonged to my grandfather, and I’d be crushed to lose it forever. If you’ve seen anything around the parking lot behind the library or near the bus stop on Genesee Street, please drop me a note. I’d really appreciate any help tracking it down.
