<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2369816, member: 36230"]It is ten years old now, so I wouldn't sweat it much... Some varieties, say the tons of 2009 1Cs, are best sold/offered when hot while with others it isn't likely, but with no guarantees, to make that much of a difference. The key is connecting with the "right" buyer to achieve top dollar, and he is just as likely to be actively search now as a month from now; you just don't know unless they somehow announce themselves. To again use the 09s as an example; in my experience there were plenty of buyers for even the more minor varieties, but once the new shield cents came out, things cooled significantly and to the point giving them away wasn't always so easy. Contrary to what some may suggest, waiting isn't always and often isn't the smartest move (slabbed or raw) if someone doesn't bite right now for the simple fact that this is a niche area. I can tell you that prior to the more recent significant discoveries, this coin was likely worth more, and perhaps more desirable, than it may be now. What once was will not necessarily be tomorrow, so waiting can bite you as well. Again, there are no guarantees in this hobby/business.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I can relate to the not collecting aspect, but for different reasons.
