Post a coin that has sentimental value to you.

I think most of us have a coin or set that has huge sentimental value, This 1989 proof set is worth, well, not much, but it's the same Proof set my late grandfather bought for me when he took me to the San Francisco mint in 1989, when I was just 11 years old. This is one set that will never be on the market image
Anyone else have a story?

    With a starting price of fourteen thousand, nine hundred, ninety-nine dollars and a "Buy Now" price of $25,000, this coin; being featured on another thread, is really tugging at my heart strings

    These four pennies go back a long time with me. the 1917 D, that was pulled out of an old wing chair in the dump. My dad taugh me how to slit open the back of junk furniture and find the change that had sifted inside. The 1919 I dug up while hunting old bottles in the woods when I was a teen. the 22D came out of my Grandmothers from circulation whitmans....those folders were a big influence on me since I could go up into her attic and look them over.
    The 31 D, that was part of a big spread of pennies on my uncle georges desk......I picked that out out (rather swiped it) and hid out from him for months afterwards, convinced he knew I had taken it. I though he was a coin collector, but of course he was not.

    To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!

    But come on people, don't we all have a sentimental piece(s) that we would never sell?
