<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2735405, member: 10461&quot;]I liked the coin a lot, of course, but in terms of sentimental appeal versus monetary investment, it might not have even been in my top five favorites.&nbsp; Close.&nbsp; Maybe #6 or so.&nbsp; The only thing that separated it from any other VF $5 Liberty was the sexier mintmark, and since I&#039;m not so much always into the minutiae like that, having all the coin&#039;s value tied up in one tiny mintmark was becoming less important to me than what kind of other things the money could bring.&nbsp; (Would this 1842-D $5 have been a better investment over a ten-year hold period than the stuff I&#039;m replacing it with?&nbsp; Dunno.&nbsp; My crystal ball&#039;s all fogged up.&nbsp; Sometimes I go on gut instinct, y&#039;know.&nbsp; I&#039;ve hit some home runs that way.&nbsp; Gotten some bloody noses that way, too.)</p><p><br /></p><p>In summary, the pangs of parting with a nice coin is one of the most difficult challenges of &quot;Box of 20&quot; collecting.&nbsp; But for there to be &quot;hellos&quot;, there must first be &quot;goodbyes&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
