[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 5418470, member: 69089"]Hmmm…I’m the odd man out in this thread. I’ve been collecting coins almost 50 years (since I was 8 years old), but I’ve never been the hoarder type — in fact, I’m averse to clutter and excess in any form (shrinks probably have a term for that :D). Several years ago when my collection was approaching a thousand pieces, I tapped the brakes and started asking myself why I owned all of the coins I owned. In many cases I didn’t have a good answer, and so I started paring them down.
