Just got a metal detector and hope to create some sentimental moments with the family looking for old coins! There's something about searching for lost treasure that never fails to evoke images of silver and gold and a trunk full of coins (or rusty nails and trash, y'know, lol). While society has evolved to be "plugged-indoors" with a constant demand to be instantly satisfied (ironically as I stand on this soap box typing this on a computer), the thrill still comes down to the hunt for buried treasure! And the value will be in the experience that can't be beat by a high-tech xbox or playstation! ...I hope.

the circulated 1993-D LMC I got in change in the McDonalds Walmart is my most favorite/sentimental coin. |

According to my registry sets (I just sorted by value) my most valuable coin with a value of $4,250 is a 1908 Motto Saint Gaudens Double Eagle graded MS64 by PCGS.
My favorite coin currently, or maybe better defined as the one I enjoy looking at this week, is my 1834 classic head 1/2 cent. Also PCGS graded MS64. I love those discontinued denominations. ;-)

Going strictly by US Modern Coins:
Monetary value - 2011 uncirculated Silver Eagle. This was my first ever silver coin and I made the mistake of handling it several times with my bare fingers. The result is a thin border of tarnish around the outside of the coin.
Sentimental value - A collection of cents, nickels and dimes that I've accumulated since I first went to America in 1993. It's just loose change really. There's nothing special in there.

I have 3 well worn Liberty nickels that my mom gave me years ago. She got them as a tip in the late 40s when she was working as a waitress. They have the most personal value. |

my most sentimental coin is a 1916 three pence my grandfather bought back when fighting in WWII. I have it holder-ed with a nice message commemorating what it is.

My most valuable modern day is perhaps 2009 UHR 1 oz. gold eagle. My most sentimental modern day coin? Depends on which day...Today maybe few of my 1964-67 Kennedy DDO! |

I guess my new most valuable coins would be my 300 BC Phillip II bronze. It's the oldest coin I own, and seems to list ~30-40$. But, I think I like my 64 Kennedy halves the most. |

Hmm, the enhanced ASE from the 2013 West Point set seems to be going for 120 at pr70 and 70 at pr69, so I guess thats my new high coin by numismatic value. |
