<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 505144, member: 8033&quot;]I&#039;ve thought about it then come to my senses. I love collecting. It&#039;s in my blood and as it turns out I am the only member of my immediate family with this gene.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose I could have &quot;invested&quot; my money but didn&#039;t. I could certainly be blowing money on worse things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have often thought of (and still do) about just dumping a ton of &quot;junk&quot; as it were and cnncentrating on better &quot;junk&quot;. I certainly have enough and it makes perfect sense. Only two things hold me back. It&#039;s work and it requires a lot of organization that has been neglected for WAY too long.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paper money only made it worse RickieB!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> When I started paper it was sheerly as a seller. I was finding stuff in circulation at work and peddling it off fast. Figured I could make money and buy BETTER coins. I had no real interest in it.</p><p>The more I got into it, the more I learned and the more I got hit with the collecting bug.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I work in a coin shop and have started picking up (GASP!) World Coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now eventually I do plan on selling it all. Assuming I make my &quot;golden years&quot; I will sell it off to others that will enjoy it like I have. If something happens to me it will all go to my wife.</p><p>I&#039;ll leave her with enough contacts to sell it off at maximum value.</p><p><br /></p><p>She has NEVER complained about my hobby. I have NEVER hidden a purchase from her.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually I wll sell it all - at least I hope and hope it really does end up in hands of serious collectors instead of investors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
