<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3368318, member: 19463"]There is a big difference between refocusing your purchases and selling off what you had to finance the fad of the day. I sold most of my collection in 1974 and still regret it. I got $500 for 150 coins and still miss my Divus Pertinax denarius. CNG has sold 7 of them since they started posting online and ony one in 2002 went for less than I got for the 150 coins. In the time since I have not seen a single coin that I sold. Maybe Joel Malter sold them to someone with enough sense to keep them. I have seen the same types in most cases but not many of some. I regularly change focus but tend to sell coins that have already been replaced in my heart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
