[QUOTE="clembo, post: 225320, member: 8033"]I've touched on this before so figured I'd ask all of you? Which of your coins holds the highest sentimental value in your collection? I've been collecting for nearly 40 years now and have a special place in my heart for an 1866 Two Cent Piece that might go VG. It's still in the original 2X2 after all of these years. You see my dad bought me that coin when I was a child. He's gone but that coin remains along with the 1865 Three Cent Nickel, 1872 Shield Nickel and my 1851 Large Cent that was horribly cleaned (by me I'm afraid as a child). Not rare coins but dad would buy them when he was away on business. He knew NOTHING about coins but I always looked forward to getting a new one. I STILL love my type coins because of this and after YEARS of buying anything that struck my fancy and was priced right I decided to complete the Two Cent business strike series. Started off as a VF-XF set and eventually ended up all unc. Now I have 5 sets. What can I say? Those are my babies and I think of my dad every time I look at one. Some day I'll be buried with the first four coins I listed in this ramble. So what about y'all?[/QUOTE]
