<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8005337, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with much of what red_spork said but operated in the under $100 bracket a lot of the time making Abafil trays seem too much so I used off-brands which retired to the attic when my collection grew to the point that they were unwieldy and the coins went into paper.&nbsp; Having photos of all the coins made the coins being harder to access less a problem than the bulk. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mostly, I tend to sell coins that I regret having bought.&nbsp; In my case, those are generally things I bought because I thought I needed rather than things I actually wanted.&nbsp; In my case, many I regret were coins I bought to illustrate pages on my website when I was active in that endeavor. Part of &#039;comes and goes&#039; is that ideas of what you wanted once might show up again as what you want in the future.&nbsp; I regret selling/trading about half of what I let go.&nbsp; I still recommend NOT spending money on coins that you need for life but considering the hobby money like what you spend on restaurants and travel.&nbsp; You do not expect them to pay cash return the next day.&nbsp; With ancients, you will never have them all or even the best.&nbsp;&nbsp; Enjoy the ones you have and don&#039;t sell a child to raise funds for an aureus you will feel compelled to cash in when the whim changes.&nbsp; Billionaires for whom $100,000 is like $100 is to me can have them and not lower their lifestyle one little bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, my heirs might get more money if I sold all my favorite coins now but I prefer that they are prepared to fund their own lives without needing my coins.&nbsp; Send them to college and tell them to get a job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
