<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3372917, member: 26302"][USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] , it is your hobby and only you know how to best enjoy it. I tried to limit myself, I tried a lot of things, but I figured I would collect how I want to collect. Its a hobby. Myself, I know I am a hoarder now. I remember and regret every coin I have sold. I simply am in a position I do not need to sell in order to buy other coins, so I won't. Other collectors will be able to buy my coins when I am gone unless one of my sons grows up with the bug, but for now they are mine. I have gone 20 years without looking at some coins, but I know I have them. I have a chain cent and flowing hair silver dollar from my US collecting days I bet I haven't glanced at in over 15 years in the SDB, yet I will not part with them. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's what works for you. Some people like a "clean slate", others are hoarders, still others wheel and deal and use some coins to obtain others. None of these approaches are "wrong". It is only about what YOU want. Its a hobby, have fun and wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
