<p>[QUOTE="seasnake, post: 1670495, member: 25449"]Only started collecting in 1999 and was in to quantity regardless of quality and didn't have a plan. That got old quickly so plan B was to sell the bags of common stuff like wheaties and all lower end slabs to trim my collection down to only eye appealing first tier slabs and a complete set of wheats from 1909 to date, keys in slabs (no 22 plain or 55dd) and wound up with more than 200 nice US coins (plus the wheat set) and an acute case of boredom. At the Baltimore show I met a dealer in the hotel pub and picked his mind, he suggested that I liquidate most of what I have and concentrate on 1 20 coin box of high end stuff. I slept on it and plan C is now in full swing, selling lower end stuff on ebay and my first of 4 separate 38 coins lots are on their way to teletrade. I'm keeping around 20 of my best coins and will work on a total of 40 coins total, if I buy a new one I will sell an old one. By selling the majority of my collection I will be flush enough to not be scared to bid on a gem trade dollar or a proof 3 cent silver or the 2 wheats mentioned above. It would also be much easier for the bride to liquidate if I kick off pre her, so what do you think of my plan C?, comments and suggestions welcomed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
