I have been buying and selling coins for over forty years and I can still see some of the coins I sold that I wish I had not sold. But I learned the fun in coin collecting is the hunt for new coins. Now the only coins I sell are ones that I can replace if I want to.  Rare coins that would be hard to find and replace never leave my collection anymore. One coin that I really miss is a 1870-s one dollar gold coin that I sent in to PCGS and came back a MS64. I have not found another coin of that date and mint mark that equal to the one I sold. My wife and I collect PCGS and NGC bust coins and have done so for many years without ever sell a single bust coin. Year after year we keep buying them and stick them away and sooner or later we know we will have to sell some or all of them. We now have over 200 bust coins graded AU 50 or higher an we know that as we get older we will have to part with them but the thought of that day still makes me sick. This is what makes you a coin collector instead of a coin investor.  Jim[/QUOTE]
