What is your coin, that is most valuable to YOU. I don't want the most valuable coin in your collection, although it could be that, but what coin just gives you that mushy feeling inside? What coin do you own, that you wouldn't sell, and is close to? Mine has got to be a combo of a few coins... That I received from my dad, that he received from his dad in 1991 Here are a few of my coins, that are important to me, not because of their retail values, but because of the sentimental value the hold to my heart, show off some of yours EDITED TO ADD: This is my favorite coin I own, but I don't know if it has more "value" than the others, but I do LOVE this coin
this is probably my favorite. The first error coin I ever cherry picked from circulation. Nothing great but I like it a lot... 95-DDO
This is an easy one for me, as I only own one coin that isn't part of my inventory and which I will keep for as long as I live. It is a gem 1909-S Saint that belonged to my grandmother. She was the niece of numismatic pioneer, B.Max Mehl and was given the Saint (1909 being her birth year) as a wedding gift by him. I also have a note of congratulations from "uncle Max" to my grandmother, that is written on a small envelope which accompanies the coin. I will treasure these keepsakes forever.
Very pretty 1909 Mark. Here's the coin that has the most "value" to me: Sorry, took the pic before I learned how to use my new camera, I've improved a bit since. The coin is a beat up and corroded 1846 Large Cent that my father gave me when I was 7. It was my oldest coin at the time and I thought it was the coolest thing ever!!! Sadly, my father passed away two years later, but I'll have this coin forever.
Mine is my 1932-S Quarter that my grandpa gave me when I was 16. He carried it in the little pocket on his bibs for over 10 years. He said it was his lucking coin and he didn't leave home with out it. This coin will never ever be sold!! I plan to send it to NGC in a few weeks.
Mine is a bunch of rolls of 1943 Lincoln Cents from my Dad. When I was a kid and those first came out my Dad saw I liked them and looked for as many as he could find for me. I still have from 30 to 40 rolls of them in really great grades, from back then.
Talk about good timing - would you mind sharing your thoughts on 1943 steel cents in this thread? http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t61220/
