[QUOTE="imrich, post: 25885960, member: 22331"]If you are truly a collector, as I of 75 years, you dislike losing any coin from even a 6-7 figure count collection, as many took decades to locate and acquire. Some being so valuable that you can't even insure properly for sending to a TPG who has assured authenticity by viewing photos. I occasionally will assemble a collection for an associate, with each certified coin having a buy-back price label of a value less than established sales value at time of transfer, occasionally being informed of their R.O.I.. The older coins were gotten by me starting at 9 years of age by walking into a BM shop in my Catholic school uniform, offering my assistance for some pretty foreign window coins while walking to my school on the block corner. The owner and I spent many wonderful years together locating "treasures" at coin shows! My fine or less "culls", collected from circulated PM coin bags, were generally sold through magazines, or to Hannes Tulvig and other "dealers" many years ago. Collecting tangibles can become a sickness that most wouldn't understand, so beware![/QUOTE]
