Is there a coin in your collection that you would NEVER sell???

Newcomp103 · May 25, 2007 4:18AM

Regardless of value??? For me, the birth year set of cent,nickel,dime and quarter (1970) that my twins got from circulation and gave me a few years ago will stay with me and is part of my will to go in the casket at my passing...only worth .41 cents to most, but priceless to me...Also, I inherited a circulated wheat cent collection 1909-1958 (complete with the exception of the 09-S VDB and the 55 double die) from a dearly departed relative...I will pass that down in the family when the time is right....what do you have, either moon money valuable or otherwise that you would not ever sell???

No.

Everybody has a price and it's not like coins are people.

ricko · May 25, 2007 4:25AM

Zoins, People sell people..... I wonder if people that sell people use the money to buy coins????

Cheers, RickO

I'd have to say no reguarding my current collection, since I've never received anything "special" from anyone that has huge sentimental value. Maybe one day my Grandma will let me have that bag of '95-P Morgans that she got from her Dad for her wedding.

curly · May 25, 2007 4:28AM

Brothers....you can't replace fingers and toes....coins are just a hobby.

UtahCoin · May 25, 2007 4:29AM

My grandmother gave me a 1912 $5 gold piece 20 years ago. That piece is not for sell.... Unless somebody thought it was worth a million.
I guess everything has it's price.

rons · May 25, 2007 4:29AM

I have a1892 proof set I am working on to honor my grandfather.

I am missing the Morgan but it has been a treat to assemble and allows me to reflect on what a great guy he was. For sale when I die I suppose

TorinoCobra71 · May 25, 2007 4:30AM

<< No.

Russ, NCNE >>

Cladiator · May 25, 2007 4:30AM

No. Never say never.

coinlieutenant · May 25, 2007 4:32AM

Everything is for sale at a certain level...

Russ · May 25, 2007 4:34AM

Likewise, I have coins from my dad that I will never sell either. Other than those coins, I am such a fickle collector that no coin I have is in a permanent collection.

relicsncoins · May 25, 2007 5:17AM

Yes, I would never sell this coin, well maybe if someone offered enough to change my current lifestyle.

It was left too me (raw) in a group of coins my grandma left me when she passed. They were mostly Morgans, and this was the best of the lot. I submitted it to Anacs and was lucky to get a top 100 VAM in Gem out of it.

DennisH · May 25, 2007 5:17AM

No.

Everything I own is for sale at some price... although I don't know yet what the price is for some of them.

STONE · May 25, 2007 5:21AM

I've got several coins that I will NEVER sell. Some other coins I HOPE never to sell, unless an upgrade becomes available and affordable.

Most of the my other stuff I would consider selling for a nice price, but if not, I'm going to keep it.

silverpop · May 25, 2007 5:29AM

Yeah

there are 6 coins in my collection that i'd never sell

etexmike · May 25, 2007 5:35AM

Up until a couple of weeks ago I thought I owned a coin that I would never part with.

Things change.

back when i was a kid in the 50's--a couple of my friends and i sneaked into a mortuary and i stole a penny off a dead mans eye--still got it-and it's for sale if anyone is interested

asin · May 25, 2007 5:38AM

YES

19Lyds · May 25, 2007 5:42AM

Well..........I got a AU-53 1972 Type 1 Eisenhower that I will never sell!

I'll trade that sucker but I could never really sell it!

Originally purchased as an AU53 Type 2 IKE which turned out to be a Type 1 that was really beat up! I did a grading guarantee on it and it now resides in an AU-53 PCGS Holder.
(sigh)

grabba · May 25, 2007 5:43AM

Hmmmmmmmmm.

I will take the first one listed in this SET!

AU58WALKERS · May 25, 2007 6:06AM

too many to list

Baley · May 25, 2007 6:29AM

Every statement that begins with "All" "None" "Every" "Always" "NEVER" is false. Including the previous one.

Vetter · May 25, 2007 6:34AM

Yes, the 1921 DDO Buffalo Nickel that I was the discover.

SkyMan · May 25, 2007 6:40AM

Everything has a price, but there are several coins that would take serious money and/or unexpected bills of a worthwhile nature (children's education etc.) to pry them out of my sticky, appreciative fingers. Here are three examples of coins that I plan to hold on to (the good Lord willing) for decades more...

gemstatecoins · May 25, 2007 11:22PM

Yes.... A 1928 Peace dollar my grandmother gave me.It will be passed down to one of my sons and hopefully stay in the family( You never know what they will decide to do).

onlylincolns · May 25, 2007 11:38PM

1913 Gold Eagle - my grandmother won first prize for a science project when she was in high school and this was her award. This will stay in the family forever.

Jcarney · May 25, 2007 11:39PM

There's one coin that would give me pause, but if I needed the money for something more important, I'd sell it and not look back.

Jcarney · May 25, 2007 11:42PM

<< back when i was a kid in the 50's--a couple of my friends and i sneaked into a mortuary and i stole a penny off a dead mans eye--still got it-and it's for sale if anyone is interested >>

So, what happened to the other penny? Oh and what's the date?

trozau · May 25, 2007 11:44PM

Quite a few!

fcloud · May 25, 2007 11:50PM

My basic answer is I would never sell the coins my wife gave me as gifts about 30 years age. Two quick examples 1942/41 dime and a 1937-D three-legged buffalo.

SilverEagles92 · May 25, 2007 11:54PM

Definitely. Most coins I would sell, but for sentimental reasons, I wouldn't sell others. My great-grandfather gave me a 1817 large cent in about VF. My first large cent, and it was a gift from him.

Newcomp103 · May 25, 2007 11:56PM

Being married myself...I can safely say that you gave a good answer!!!! (And a great decision on both coins!)

saintguru · May 26, 2007 12:00AM

I love every coin I have, but at some time in the next 7-10 years anything will be saleable.

Especialyl considering the amount of cash that they represent...I gotta retire with paper money, NOT $20 gidl coins.

Thanks, Newcomp103, and I didn't even ask for either coin. I think Linda did a great job is the selection of these coins!

I have no emotional attachment to coins based on who gave them to me. I have sold coins given to me by my grandfather, two grandmothers, and father, some of which would be considered heirlooms. Ultimately, all three of those people would want me to be happy, not clinging to some worn Morgan dollar as if it is a piece of their soul.

I have coins that I consider long-term keepers, but from one year to the next, coins do move in and out of this circle. Ultimately, at the right price (ie. stupid money), everything is for sale...I think.

I had a friend like that. We exchanged Christmas gifts every year for many years. I always got a list and purchased what was on the list but it was alway returned. I stopped the exchange it just wasn't worth my effort any longer. I guess I wanted them to be happy, but it was just too much work. Maybe it would be easier for people to give gifts of cash if they want you to "be happy" that way you can get what you want or need.

I don't keep the coins my wife gave me as a piece of her soul. I keep them because I love her and respect her efforts! (I'm sorry even stupid money wouldn't make me sell them.)

Is there a coin in your collection that you would NEVER sell???
