<p>[QUOTE=&quot;numist, post: 2621, member: 35&quot;]Being in a similar situation, I found it easier to sell off my &#039;old&#039; collection to fund a new, more challenging one.&nbsp; I, like you, had a little bit of everything (and still do) but I pity anyone who had to manage that mess if I should die suddenly.&nbsp; </p><p>Since I couldn&#039;t decide on a particular series to collect because I like them all, I started trying to obtain one exceptional example for each series.&nbsp; My &#039;new&#039; collection is much smaller, but certainly more rewarding and will be easier for someone to manage when I&#039;m gone.</p><p>Just my two cents worth here, but I would hold on to the hundred bucks a month and let it build interest somewhere and use the funds from selling off the odd pieces and collect what you really, really like.</p><p>As for buying lots of mint products, I don&#039;t anymore.&nbsp; I&#039;ve limited myself to a silver proof set each year along with a proof eagle or two.&nbsp; Anything else from the mint turns into gifts for others.</p><p>I hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
