[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 985077, member: 16060"]This is a very interesting thread to me. I hope my sons years down the road are faced with the same as you. Here is what I would think about concerning your collection: 1. In your post you mention about adding to the collection over time. That means to me you don't need the money from these coins, so time is on your side. 2. The time on your side is a good thing. Most people will tell you the value of these should go up over time. While I agree with those that say it consider a couple of things. Our saying that is nothing more than speculation and PM prices/coins can have some very flat periods. 3. If you did sell the coins what would you do with the cash? Those items offering a guarenteed rate of return are horribly low at this point of our economy. The stock market is very shaky right now. After me saying this I don't think you could own anything better than what you have for potential growth. 4. I'm sure what you have right now is very beautiful. I have read numerous threads here where people sold coins and down the road wish they hadn't. This in itself is for several reasons. It includes a missed increase in value had they been retained longer, sold a family heirloom, and sold off something they can never replace. After stating all this I would keep them. I would learn more about what I have to include their grade and value. Down the road if you decide to sell a young collector will be older with more disposable income and buy them.
