I have a 1906-d? Barber dime that I found in my family garden. My family had been farming this plot of urban land for over 50 years, it could have been dropped by my grandfather in the late 1950's. Didn't use a metal detector either, the tiller brought it up and a heavy rain made it visible.

Do American Silver Eagles count? I think they are one of the most beautiful coins made! I'm working on building a collection...5 from every year they have been made.

Nice question idea BenButton! Mine would either be my holed 1853 Large Cent my LCS owner gave to me and I wear on a chain, or a 1921 Morgan dollar my mom gave me that she has had nearly her whole life.
