[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2258738, member: 26302"]Great post Doug. I do feel your pain sir. I remember every time I had to part with a coin. Giving coins away to kids I feel good about, but still remember those LRB's my wife made me sell. :( Even though I don't collect them, kept the 100 best from the group, and was able to sell some of the better ones to friends here, I still didn't like it. Now you know why I am just a hoarder. Once the coins are in my grubby little paws I regret it too much to let them go. I understand your situation in life back then, but thankfully and hopefully I am not in that position anymore. My wife the other day asked me why I save so much money, (401k, IRA, HSA, deferred compensation, after tax stocks), and I told her it is so I never will be forced to sell my coins! :D[/QUOTE]
