<p>[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2541930, member: 76111"]Greg - you have clearly 2 passions and it is not required that you do both at the same time. Please don't sell your coins. Take it from us "older" folks that your passion for them is obvious and this will be something you regret unless you must have the money today. Many of us have done that, me included, and regret it. My dad sold his ancient collections in the 1960's at about your age to pay for a surgery he didn't want to borrow money for at the time. He sold coins he could never get back and tells me about it to this day!</p><p><br /></p><p>Sell your coins when your tired of the hobby or quit collecting. Your not done collecting by a long shot. Put it on hold, stick them in the vault, and go travel like Marco Polo. They will be waiting for when you are ready.</p><p><br /></p><p>And when you get older, you will hopefully have the resources to pursue both passions like an idiot simultaneously. I write this on vacation in London tonight, after having lunch with the Russo's and reviewing the NAC auction that is coming up in December. Couldn't have done this at your age. Believe me. I get your passions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
