<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 2690102, member: 74624&quot;]Over a year ago I made the decision to begin the process of early retirement and purchase a second home out of state for retirement.&nbsp; To help with finances I had to make a decision: sell my coin collection right away (and get less in return) or sell the collection at auctions or Ebay to get more in return (and delay my retirement).&nbsp; Since early retirement was my priority for personal reasons I chose the former and sold most of my collection to a local dealer, accepting much less than what I originally paid for the coins.&nbsp; Although one wold say that the coins were a bad investment, I have no regrets in the decision since life since retirement has been wonderful and less stressful.&nbsp; I went in to coin collecting for enjoyment and have picked up the pieces and started over again since the fire is still there.&nbsp; We all make decisions in life to do things that make us happy.&nbsp; I could have taken the money I spent on coins and bought a new boat.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure I&#039;d enjoy the boat but its value will depreciate over time; probably a lot more than the coins I purchase.&nbsp; I chose to collect coins for enjoyment and as long as the fire is still there I&#039;ll continue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
