<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2691233, member: 34882&quot;]This drives home a point that I try and repeat as much as possible regarding selling coins. Sure there are tons of people that like to state &#039;oh I only collect I&#039;ll never sell, my heirs can worry about it, etc&#039;. But selling is a part of the hobby and one that all collectors should be familiar with imo. </p><p><br /></p><p>I took to heart that advice when first reading here that one should not only read, read and read some more before buying. But also sell or shop around a few coins from time to time as well. From doing that I&#039;ll say that maybe not the percentages you mention are pretty standard but the sell at a loss part certainly is for many coins. I think many collectors have an unrealistic idea of just what the true value of their coins is if they were actually liquidating. And because it is a part of the hobby and one can never truly say never regarding selling, I think more collectors should gain the experience of selling a few coins every so often. If for nothing else to gain experience regarding just how much the reality of what a coins true liquid value is, versus what a coins perceived value is can differ.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
