[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 26771079, member: 10461"]I actually did that, around 2012-2013-ish. Well, a 90-95% purge, anyway. That, and other big forced sales due to poverty/bills/unforeseen circumstances in the past means that in the 50 years I've been collecting, my collection has been burnt to the ground almost completely two or three times, and started all over again. Like the phoenix, it arose from the ashes each time, and each restart incorporated the lessons I'd learned from the times before. (A better focus on quality over quantity, for one thing.) Would I do it all again: purge and restart? The thought has crossed my mind, but I don't think so. Not a [I]complete[/I] purge, anyway. I might do some [I]partial [/I]purges of certain categories. It's fun to think about what single coin I might buy with the proceeds, were I to (hypothetically) sell my whole collection.[/QUOTE]
