Was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on my 1916 Lincoln Cent. Original, not artificial toning. Coin was acquired from Harlan J. Berk in Chicago.
I understand what you're asking but in my case I inherited my dad's collection after he passed 1 year ago yesterday. While not monetarily valuable it is emotionally valuable to me. My dad and I would go to shows together and my knowledge of numismatics comes directly from him. We so enjoyed looking at each others collection and it's a memory that will last my lifetime. So when I open up the box that holds his collection, to me, that is more valuable than any monetary value. So to answer your question, yes I inherited a very valuable collection, at least to me :)
