One of my most "valuable" coins to me is my 1956 Franklin Proof Type 1 half. It came from an old mint set which my nana bought when they were married and gave to me. Another coin I really enjoy is a 1950d Jefferson nickel which I cherry picked off ebay for $13 and it ended up grading MS-66. I just love the look of it as it has great champagne toning and IMO, is non-replaceable. |

Other than on ounce gold AGE and a 1928 Saint-Gaudens that are mostly metal value my most rare coin would be a 1875 s/cc Trade dollar, followed by a 1869 proof seated half. |

Starting to really dig the 1/10th oz. Bullion coins, and they are SMALL. Small like the Half Dime and the trime, those two coins seem balanced and properly sized, whereas tiny bits of gold seem odd and out of proportion. Got a 2007W burnished uncirculated AGE in the mail yesterday, now I want a teeny tiny platinum coin to go with it. |

Most sentimental is my first coin, 1952 Washington. Most valuable probably my 1928 Peace dollar, MS-63. |

Which coin out of your entire collection has the most sentimental value? All of my coins have sentimental value, but two are very special. The 1976-D Variety 2 and 1977-D Eisenhower dollars my father gave me. They are the beginning of my collection. Quote:
Which has the most monetary value? Right now, my 1932-S Quarter. The (lower grade) 1932-D is right behind it. |

I forgot to list my most monetarily valuable coin. It is my 1864L IHC AU-50 Snow-4. It has a very dramatic repunched date on all 4 numbers and some doubling on "America." |

Most sentimental - I love them all but one stands out above the rest, my avatar. 1786 Vermont Copper - VERMONTENSIUM (I have actually travelled to the supposed site of Reuben Harmon's mint, that was cool!) Most monetary - 1918/7-D Buffalo nickelswcoin.ecrater.com

I wish I could be the custodian of some rare colonial American coin, like the ones that say MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
In fact, I think if I were exceedingly wealthy I would open a coin museum on my own dime.
For now I'll have to settle for modern key-dates.

My most valuable coin is still out there waiting for me to find it!  Seriously, I have a couple of key date coins that await to be authenticated by a TPG. My most prized coin though is an old US Half Dime that my grandmother gave me. Not in the best shape, but it means a lot to me. |

My most sentimental and valuable are one and the same-an 1878 3 dollar gold piece that was given to my Grandmother for her 7th birthday in 1906, so it's been in the family for over 100 years.She gave it to me in the early 1970's. She also lived to be 100 years old. I'll never sell it.

I've got a bunch that have sentimental value, coins that I inherited from my father. Most of them are flying eagle and IHCs with a silver trime from 1852. All are fairly low grades. My most valuable would be a 1909S Indian cent that I got from Rick Snow. The grade on it is VF-25. |
