<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1811358, member: 25270&quot;]I think that it is informative to see what other people are willing to pay for something. I buy the coins that I like, and one way I think about it is, if I like it, probably a lot of other people do too. Trying to sell the coin is a chance to prove or disprove that theory. It also shows the limitations of the price guide. It&#039;s pretty common for a lot of collectors to say &quot;I just got a great deal! I paid X amount and the price guide says it&#039;s worth Y!&quot; Selling it shows more of what the market says something is worth. I&#039;ve found some countries consistently sell for far above their price guide values, whereas others always sell for far below. Example: No one wants Spanish or French coins, but British Honduras are very popular. I&#039;m not going to say you need to sell things to be a good coin collector, but I think personally it has improved my knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
