Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2347998, member: 15929"]There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a particular collecting goal such as MS/PR70 Modern Commemorative. Hopefully, you had them graded instead of buying them on the aftermarket. That would be where the real satisfaction would come from. If not and they were purchased on the aftermarket shortly after their release, there is nothing I could say which would possibly assuage the feelings you'll experience should you ever decide to sell them. I have many, many modern coins which I purchased at perhaps the wrong time to which I'd really like to be rid of. However, I simply cannot face the loss of both money and face since I was well warned about the volatility of the modern coin market. None the less, I'm proud of some of my accomplishments in both finding and purchasing some of my treasures. My children will probably validate my insanity when they compare what I paid vs what they can sell them for but then, I won't be around to apologize. Collect what you like. For some perspective (and my own sanity) I once purchased a 60" Big Screen TV for about $2,400 back in 1995(?). It was great! A behemoth of an appliance which you had to be right smack in front of in order to not get fade on the edge of the screen! I finished a basement around it and was very proud! Surround sound, ceiling speakers, tuner, the whole ball of was! After 10 years, when it was time to move, I couldn't sell it but had to give it away to a kid down the street. All he had to do was haul it off! Some of my coins fall into this category despite the promise I felt were in them when I bought them but, like the TV, I enjoyed the hell out of them![/QUOTE]
