<p>[QUOTE=&quot;modernman, post: 326510, member: 11789&quot;]Here&#039;s my take on owning it, since I want to own the 1995-W ASE someday to complete our ASE collection:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is a 0% guarantee that the price will continue to go up, and a greater than 0% chance that the price may come down for whatever reason (lower demand, another key or semi-key ASE in the future, price of gold and silver plummets, etc)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you sell for a profit there is a greater than 0% chance that you will make a profit, and you can reinvest that money in the bank or in other coins than have a greater than 0% chance of spiking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMHO, sell the set and make some profit. Buy the set back in the future if you really want it. I am not buying the 1995-W ASE now because I don&#039;t want to tie up the money in the coin. If some of my current coins go up more percentage-wise then the 1995-W, then I will sell those in the future and buy the 1995-W if that coin doesn&#039;t go up as much as my other coins. This would be the ideal situation for me, but there&#039;s no guarantee it will happen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As an example, I&#039;ve been hoarding bank rolls of statehood quarters for my son. I can still get the old ones for face value. I plan to accumulate 50+ rolls of the 2002 TN. It will cost me $500 for those 50 rolls, but last week I walked into a coin dealer who offered me $18/roll. If i can get $20+/roll in the future, and sell them all I can buy another coin (like a $50 gold eagle) than has already spiked up. I would be getting the coin at a discount since my original cost was only $500.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>i guess it comes down to opportunity cost. Do you want to tie up $5k now, or is there a better opportunity to do something with that money now? Eventually, you&#039;ll just want to flat out own some coins, regardless of the value. That&#039;s when you stop looking at the value of the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
