<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 3710862, member: 36248&quot;]I definitely know more than nothing, its just a whole lot less than everything.&nbsp; &nbsp; Of course, the parts I know are almost entirely due to CoinTalk and more specifically you.&nbsp;&nbsp; So you can take satisfaction in that!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I kept all my &quot;kid&quot; coins until I was a few years back into the hobby.&nbsp; I wasnt prepared to sort the monetarily valuable from the emotionally valuable coins when I first came back.&nbsp; As I learned more, I was comfortable with unloading most of them.&nbsp; I did mostly declare coin collection bankruptcy, but it wasnt a total clean slate, that way I could keep a coin or two from when I was like 8, and use the funds from some of the less desirable coins to make new purchases.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a coin I bought from a coin/stamp shop in Windham Maine when I was very young.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]994508[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It was raw for 20 years, and then I sent it to NGC, and then to CAC.&nbsp;&nbsp; I did that with about 15 coins from my childhood, and sold most of them.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I was nostalgic enough to keep a few, but also focused enough on my goal at the time (CAC type set), to be comfortable selling off the others in pursuit of another coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a few years, you might also decide something similar, keep a special coin here or there, but not necessarily hundreds and hundreds just because.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
