I have received the pictured 20th Century coin set from my mother after my father passed away last May. I realize the coins are not valuable, nor do I have any particular interest in keeping them together as a set. Just curious on member's opinions on whether to break them out of the set, or keep them together in the set. Opinions please?   |

Sorry for your loss. If they have sentimental value keep it as is, if not then set them free,IMHO. John1  |

 Turn it into a treasured memento. Get a photo of mom and dad. Place the photo in a shadow box or frame with the coin group. A nice reminder of dad and a future family heirloom. PS Your Barber dime is sleeping. SSSHHHHH. |

If they came from your father, you should keep them as a set. Sentimental value is difficult to buy.

Sentimental value is IMPOSSIBLE to buy.
A shadow box, with photos, is the way to go.
Each and every heirloom should be added to and passed onto the next generation.
A note can be added: "These were important to dad."

Way, way back in time my Dad gave me a coin. I still have that coin and he is now long gone but that coin is still with me. I see him in my head every time I see that coin.
I suggest as most others already have, make it a momemto of your parents.
