Thankfully, most of the coins with the most sentimental value have very little numismatic value... with a couple exceptions, I'd be better off panhandling than selling off Grandpa's Wheat penny collection or war souvenirs, for instance.

As far as valuable coins go, the last one I'd part with would probably be either my Caracalla denarius with the best portrait of that emperor I've ever seen, or one of the several medieval Indian coins that would be nearly impossible to replace (like my avatar).

I would be torn between keeping my Half Eagle from the Dahlonega, GA Mint or a high grade coin like my avatar.

After 50, or so, years collecting I was finally able to get a 1909 S-VDB Lincoln. This coin was purchased with the proceeds from a small life insurance settlement after my mom passed. I'll be buried with this coin in my pocket, it means too much to ever let go.

I once thought about doing this with the Ikes, but I have since decided to be cremated (I have seen too many zombie movies). The Ikes will hopefully live on in the care of my progeny.

If I had to sell it all I would probably be demoralized enough that I would just sell it all. (Keeping the library though)

Somehow I can relate. Except for the library part. Mine is rather lacking.
