<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 8321719, member: 118540&quot;]I&#039;m a Type 1 mostly. I&#039;ve been collecting ancients for 3 years, and US coins, off and on, ever since childhood. And a few medievals, Spanish colonial, Crusader coins, and English pennies.</p><p>I&#039;ve never sold an ancient coin. However, I&#039;ve upgraded some of my ancients, and I may sell some of the &quot;2nd stringers&quot; someday.</p><p>I&#039;ve sold a few US coins. Mostly because I upgraded them. I sold one US coin, because I just didn&#039;t like that particular coin type anymore, and I wanted to use the money for other things (coins, etc).</p><p>Even though I mostly collect coins for the history and fascination, I sometimes like to think of my coins, as a way of diversifying my wealth. It&#039;s nice to know that, if I ever get desperate, or if I ever want the money for other things, then I could sell my coins, and get some money for them.</p><p>However, I doubt that I&#039;ll ever sell my &quot;1st string&quot; coins, because the coins have nostalgic value for me, and because I spent so much time, learning about them, and searching and waiting for good examples. </p><p>For example, I still have my Lincoln cent collection, which I&#039;ve had since childhood, and its a nice connection to my past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
