<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 894692, member: 24633&quot;]Snaz,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It wasn&#039;t unusual for me to hoard coins much like you. Oh, sure, I still had my primary collections, but I wasn&#039;t averse to having muliples of this and multiples of that as well. I dropped large sums without overpaying into bulk purchases just because I loved searching coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then, the economy started tanking about 5 years ago, and two years ago, my employer closed his business. Given the economic climate, it&#039;s not easy for someone 60 years old to find another job. I&#039;m 62 now, and I&#039;ve submitted more than 175 applications but I&#039;m still unemployed. I had no choice but to file for my Social Security retirement, but even that isn&#039;t enough. I&#039;ve been forced to sell many of the coins I hoarded, and I&#039;ve taken considerable losses on them even though I didn&#039;t overpay for them anyway. I&#039;ve managed to hold on to most of my primary collections, but there may soon come a time when even those will be at risk.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I&#039;m trying to tell you is once you&#039;ve sorted through all of those coins that you bought in bulk lots, once you&#039;ve pulled out all the ones you need for your primary collections, sell the rest before it comes to a time where you don&#039;t have a choice. If you wait until that day, you may not like the outcome.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
