I've spent more than 70 years here collecting/buying/selling coins, meeting thousands of individuals through-out the world. I believe you might consider the market-ability of what is left for others, beyond your stellar personal-opinion collection. Buyers can be really "nasty" and frugal, or so I've found/watched. I've acquired a hardly-equaled quality collection while others were "deciding". With current global conditions, hardly a day elapses that I haven't acquired a virtually perfect "top-tier TPG" certified scarce Gold coin. Today I acquired a PR70 and PF69, at less than average market value, by not insulting Sellers, and paying immediately. I FULLY AGREED WITH YOUR COLLECTING ATTITUDE BEFORE ACCUMULATING EXCESS FIAT, AND CASH MAY BE OUTLAWED. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HEAR SOME OF THE HORROR STORIES REALIZED BY CURRENT WORLDLY TRAVELED ASSOCIATES. THEY TOLD OF VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF FLYING/LANDING IN A LOCATION WHERE ONLY A VERIFIABLE CURRENT CREDIT CARD IS ACCEPTABLE FOR ANYTHING, U.S. FIAT CASH WASN'T ACCEPTABLE, AND U.S. SERIES EE "BEARER BONDS" AREN'T EVEN ACCEPTED AT MAJOR U.S. BANKS! THEY WERE REMINDING ME THAT I'VE NEVER OWNED A "CREDIT-CARD", AND HAVE A ZERO CREDIT RATING!![/QUOTE]
