[QUOTE="01mikep, post: 2617719, member: 34999"]While my collection isn't as sizable as yours, I understand the need to slim down and focus. My collection has two clearly different directions: First focus is collect able WWI and earlier German and Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as 1900 and earlier Spanish coins. I really have to watch myself as I'm easily tempted to veer off sometimes. 2 albums. Second focus is modern world coins I acquire during travels. I'll hit 20 years active duty this summer with more years circling the globe than stateside. I have not always been a collector but I always gathered a type set of circulation coins from change while I was there. Was really fun pre-euro. 99% not collectable but wouldn't get rid of them for anything. 3 albums. I certainly do not collect with resale consideration. I often over pay if I have been looking for a while. If I did this for an investment I'd be failing pretty bad.[/QUOTE]
