    Coins from my old collection I wish I still had:

    1932-S Washington Quarter EF40 (maybe a 45)
    1932-D Washington Quarter VF35
    1925 Standing Liberty Quarter MS64 (maybe a 65)
    1849 Large Cent EF40 (maybe a 45) excellent color
    1909 VDB Lincoln MS63 (maybe a 64) bright red

    It's cool though. You live and learn. I love my collection now.

    Do any 1964 Peace Dollars even exist? I had heard they were all melted down later that same year.

    That's what everybody has heard. But there are still several knowledgeable people out there who will swear that they have seen them in person.

    1. The Morgan Silver dollar given to me by my Grandfather when I was 12, stolen from me when I was 22. I don't recall the date or mint mark ~ would like to a chance to know if the only gift he ever gave me was considered financially valuable as well...

    2. The first nickel I traded my sister for her dime convincing her it was worth more because it was bigger

    3. 1879 Morgan Schoolgirl pattern

    Still thinking on the final 2 ~ I'll get back to you.
