[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2095568, member: 24544"]I don't know if you should sell it, you need to decide for yourself what you are interested in. Me personally, I collected large cents for 2 1/2 years, then sold most of the collection to finance a house purchase. I found the process of selling very informative and would encourage all collectors to periodically sell some coins. By going through the process, I was forced to think about what I really wanted to keep, and what I had mindlessly acquired but was not valuable to me. I am much more selective now in my purchases, I now view my role as more of a curator of my collection instead of just acquiring coins for the sake of spending money. In your boat, I would take some time to figure out what type of collection you are interested in building, and match that goal with your financial restrictions (we all have them).
