glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 07:55 am The most sentimental coin in my collection, ironically is one of the least valuable! It's an I.C.C.S., 1949, MS-65, silver dollar. I acquired it raw in 1973 when I first started collecting coins and has been with me ever since. I entered it in a coin contest held by the Halifax coin club in the mid-1970's, but never placed or won a prize with it. It's a blast white beauty, completely spotless and without one bag mark anywhere which amazes me why it wasn't graded higher? I've had numerous chances to upgrade it to an I.C.C.S., MS-67, but will never, since I've owned it for 35+ years. Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
barriecarson Valued Member Canada 370 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 08:35 am Mine would have to be my collection of 5 cent coins. The 1922 to 1991 coins belonged to my grandfather on my mothers side, and the 1858 to 1921 series came from my grandmother on my fathers side. Oldest coin is a 1880 H. Collection has 1926 near & far 6 and at least a sample from each year 1900 to date, but not all verirties. Still a dozen or so holes to fill. When I was younger I always wondered why my collection was missing only the 1921 coin to complete all the dates from 1900 to date These coins mean the most to me because they came form both sides of my family and form one complete seriers, well almost Edited by barriecarson 08/25/2012 10:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Senex Valued Member 291 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 09:03 am My uncirculated 1908 half dollar. I bought it 30+ years ago. At the time it was the most expensive coin in my collection. One of these days I'm gonna send it in to NGC. Report this Post to the Staff
