<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1811266, member: 112&quot;]The only reason I ever bought a coin for my collection was because I liked the coin, not because I thought I could make money on it later. On the contrary, I knew that I would almost certainly lose money if and when I eventually sold that coin. And I knew that because I had sold coins before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s remorse ? No, I never experienced it. But that&#039;s because I&#039;m a bit different than most folks. I will however readily agree that seller&#039;s remorse is not at all uncommon. I collected coins for most of my life, started when I was 7 years old, I&#039;m 60 now. And I sold my entire US collection and switched over to collecting world coinage, with an emphasis on world gold primarily from the 1300&#039;s to the late 1900&#039;s. When I&#039;d go to a coin show, and I went to many, I knew before I ever got there that I may not find a single coin that I wanted to buy, unless it was a Netherlands ducat that I did not already own, and that was unlikely. So I understand your comment about envying those with a list.</p><p><br /></p><p>And about 7 years ago I sold that entire collection, and have not collected a single coin since. Now all I do is study coins and try to help others learn, and will continue to do so until I die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
