<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgoon, post: 1672457, member: 38975&quot;]While I&#039;m not a minimalist, I like to keep my number of possessions manageable.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure why my coins make me feel differently.&nbsp; I guess I can live with getting rid of most of it, but I&#039;d be upset if I took a big loss.&nbsp; It&#039;s a false feeling that until an item is sold for, it&#039;s not a loss.&nbsp; Think of it like a stock that&#039;s worth 50% of what you paid for it.&nbsp; The instant you sell it,&nbsp; you&#039;ve realized the loss. </p><p><br /></p><p>The value of the whole lot isn&#039;t huge, so I guess I could label any loss as a &quot;stupid tax&quot; and drive on.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t buy it with hopes of asset appreciation, but I don&#039;t have any intrinsic appreciation of the sets either.&nbsp; I think the the only mass-produced items I&#039;ll keep are the proof state quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m feeling better about liquidating the sets. Thanks for your input![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
