[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 756237, member: 112"]No offense intended schatzy, rather just making a point. But anyone who says this has obviously never sold an entire collection. Had they done so, I very seriously doubt they would ever say it. Think about it for a minute, the OP says it took him 23 years to acquire the collection. I can pretty much bet you that it would take at least 1 year, and probably more to sell the same collection if selling the coins 1 by 1. And it would also take and outrageous amount of time & effort. Why ? Because there are not that many people out there who are going to want the coins, either because they don't like the particular coin, they already have it, or the price is not right. Selling a collection 1 coin at a time is not as easy as most people think. It is in fact extremely difficult. Now I've sold 2 entire collections, so I have some experience and know what I am talking about. Which other person here can tell me that they have sold an entire collection before ?
