I once had three 1913 Nickels in my front pockets (The Olsen spent time in my Hawaiian shirt) and had Contursi's 1794 Dollar in my back pocket. On another occasion I spent two hours alone with four coins by Brasher, including the unique punch on breast. 2 1804 Dollars and an 1804 $10. Adelaide pound. It's getting difficult to think about what I haven't touched yet.

And, a few weeks ago, held the (Unique) Bass 1870 S $3!!! It looks quite worn. It hadn't been touched in ten years.

I held that one when it came through ANACS, and it never came to mind when I first read this thread.
Perhaps the most amazing numismatic treasure I have ever held was when I shook Eric P. Newman's hand!!!!

I've held some cool coins in my time, but none as unique as some of the coins being told about here.
I've had the priveledge of holding the Finest Known 1829 Curl Base 2 Dime! 1 or 2 1804 Dollars, and 2 different 1913 Lib Nickels (but I really have never felt these coins were all that special) And some other coins which were being auctioned, but I can't recall specifics
