[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7854574, member: 10461"]I’m philosophical about it. My collection has waxed and waned over the years; been burnt to the ground and risen anew from the ashes at least three times in four decades. A couple of the purges were voluntary. It’s actually been a great learning experience I wouldn’t have had if I had followed the traditional “hold onto everything for life” model. Tear it all down, build it back better, with slight changes of strategy each time. It’s been a valuable evolution. Most importantly, it’s taught me a healthy bit of material detachment. “It’s all just stuff”, in the grand scheme of things. The coins I sold were great while they were here, and taught me a lot. The money I made or lost in the process is a secondary consideration entirely.[/QUOTE]
