<p>[QUOTE="AdamsCollection, post: 3901099, member: 104174"]Hey Everyone! I was wondering what coins you hold in your collection that regardless of what you are offered you won't sell, or trade for. These are the coins that have meaning to you, coins with not only personality but history. Coins that share a deeper connection and story to you, sentimental coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me I have one coin that I will never sell, and that is my AU 55 1949 S Franklin Half Dollar. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028194[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH]1028195[/ATTACH] This coin is particularly special to me simply because of the moment I got the coin, and its impact that day had on my life. My grandfather who was a very honorable and respectful man who taught me a lot about life, who helped me when I needed it, who gave me a roof over my head and who shared his wisdom to me had a heart attack in may of 2017. He survived but it impacted us all greatly, we were so close to losing him. Flash forward to April of 2019 and while doing yard work with my brother he had another heart attack, It was so sudden, too sudden. </p><p><br /></p><p>He was born in 1949, and had a small collection of his own, I would always show my coins off to him and share him the stories of the coins. This half dollar was special because while in the waiting room of the hospital, moments after I had won the auction, my grandfather passed away. It was surreal the entire day, and now this coin reminds me of that day each time I hold it. It reminds me of the strong, and influencial man he was, and everything he had done for me and my family. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please share any coins you have that are sentimental, or coins you simply cannot part with.
