thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 3:00 pm I started thinking the other day about which of the coins that I have are keepers and which ones will eventually get sold when I need the money. Some of the sparse number of keepers are straight grades in slabs and some are raw. But one of my favorites is an 1858-S half eagle "VF cleaned" that I picked up on the Bay for melt. It's not even shiny or hairlined. Aside from liking early SF coins of all types, where will I find another one? And more importantly, where will I find another one for melt? To your point Lancek, two of the keepers are raw details gold dollars. The 1854-S came out of a group of five shabby dollars that sold for melt. The 1849-D is shiny ex jewelry, obviously details, and sold for three times melt, but who's counting? It may be the worst 1849-D dollar out there, but it is what it is and it didn't come from Denver.

But the accretion of found objects over decades is filling up all of my available storage space.... "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
