<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bzcollektor, post: 61824, member: 3241&quot;]No doubt I would. Up until recently, I have really never sold much of anything and that is due to a financial situation. If I hadn`t been the victum of a burglery 30 years ago, I would essentially own every coin I`ve ever accumulated. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the state of the &quot;hobby&quot; is such, that more emphasis is placed on value and worth than in times past. The really rare coins (and I mean REALLY rare) used to go a generation before you would see them up for sale again. Now they change hands every year or so. The TV hucksters promote a &quot;buy it now before it goes up&quot; mentality.</p><p>Ebay and the ability of the everyday guy to be able to sell at market prices is probably another factor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don`t know if all this is good or bad. The state of coin collecting in general seems more vibrant than at anytime I can remember (early 60`s is my frame of reference). The proof in the pudding will be at the next downturn in the market. And there will be one, as has happened so many times before (1966 , 1980, early 90`s).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
