<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3225679, member: 19463"]I don't expect anyone here to listen to me but we all have been there. In 1974 I sold about 150 coins because I thought I needed the money. I was wrong. I still miss those coins. I got $500. I could have kept those coins and ate more beans. I like beans. I miss Caligula; I miss Balbinus; I miss Divus Pertinax and I don't even have a foil pressing if it. I still sell coins I have outgrown or that I have in duplicate but selling coins I want makes no sense to me. Recently I have decided to give away some because I would rather see them go to appreciative homes than to a dealer who will tell beginners they are rare and valuable when they are just roaches.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still suggest treating hobby money like you do lunch money. Enjoy it today and don't plan on remarketing it tomorrow.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]840853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]840854[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
