<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1672366, member: 5036"]Your tastes will change drastically as you mature, at least that is what happened to me. I started out doing Lincoln cents and mint and proof sets. I had almost every mint and proof set from the early seventies on to at the time about 2005. then my tastes changed, I kept the complete book of Lincolns and branched out into some other sets and got rid of sets. The only two I kept were the ones from my children's birth years, everything else was liquidated to make room for more coins that I was interested in. Sure there was some immediate remorse and regret, but that was born out of getting rid of the items, not that I was truly interested in them. You can keep it and it won't really harm you unless you start hoarding out of control maybe or you can get rid of it and it really won't harm you...the choice ultimately is how do you want to shape your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
