<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1597028, member: 15309&quot;]My advice was going to be to tell you to sell them all and then contact a dealer who specializes in CBH&#039;s, like TomB, and tell him you want a nice original AU example.&nbsp; Then use the sale of your other 4 and save for the remainder.&nbsp; But after some reflection about our PM exchange and what I know about you I can&#039;t give that advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>It occurs to me that different collectors want different things from their collections and there are many different collecting styles, and each person can change their style over time.&nbsp; With regards to time, there are collectors who buy coins with the sole intention of never selling the coins during their lifetimes, Medoraman comes to mind.&nbsp; Others buy the coins with the intention of selling when they complete a goal such as finishing a collection and this process usually takes many years.&nbsp; Still others buy coins with the intention of keeping them for a year or two and then selling to keep their collection fresh.&nbsp; And then there is the last group of guys who seem to sell their coins almost immediately after buying the coins.&nbsp; The idea of building a collection falls second to the thrill of the NEWP.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You Tim, are a NEWPer.&nbsp; You will never be satisfied with one fantastic coin and the desire to buy a new coin will call to you like a drug.&nbsp; Now part of this is due to the fact that you don&#039;t have the disposable income to keep your coins around for a long time, or maybe you would actually keep some of them.&nbsp; But based on your current situation, I think you should strive to become a flipper.&nbsp; Buy a coin that you think you can flip for a profit, sell it, and repeat the process.&nbsp; If you are successful, you will satisfy the NEWPer in you while increasing your coin collecting bankroll and numismatic education at the same time.&nbsp; It is essentially what you are already doing but right now you are buying dreck instead of marginally profitable coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
