<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kountryken, post: 8400539, member: 89798&quot;]First let me be honest with you, I don&#039;t know what you should do? Now, with that out of the way, I sold the bulk of my collection in the late 90&#039;s. We were buying some things that the &quot;extra&quot; money came in handy. But, we could have made it fine without me selling my collection. But, my wife asked me to sell it to help out, so I did. Several years later, my wife said something about what did I have that meant the most to me? I told her that I had sold what had meant the most to me, my coin collection. She almost started crying, and asked why didn&#039;t I tell her before I sold it? I thought she knew? It meant nothing to her, so she assumed it had little meaning to me? She encouraged me to start again, and I have. I&#039;ve got, mostly what I had before. I didn&#039;t sell everything I had before,&nbsp; kept some individual coins, but sold my completed collections. I&#039;ve regretted it since the day I sold them. No, I don&#039;t dwell on that. It&#039;s done and can&#039;t be undone. What I have today only means something to me. My wife could care less about coin collecting. But, I love it! It&#039;s my hobby. I&#039;m not investing in coins, I&#039;m having fun collecting coins. I&#039;m not planning on starting to collect a new series. I pick up individual coins I like, but don&#039;t anticipate any new collections. But, I&#039;ll keep the ones I have, as long as I can. That was a lot about nothing, sorry. My advice would be to keep anything sentimental, that cannot be replaced. I had kept my sentimental coins, and am glad I did. Maybe they only mean something to you, so what? They mean something to YOU! I enjoy just looking through my coins. No one else does, but I do, and I will do that as long as I can. If I had to sell mine for a real need, they are gone, no question about it.&nbsp; But, I would still keep a few &quot;certain&quot; coins. Like the 1912 D Nickel my mother wore in her shoe in 1930 when she married my Dad. Some things, I think,&nbsp; are meant to be kept. Well, that&#039;s my 2 cents worth, hope it helps? My advice, again if you have a choice, don&#039;t sell &quot;memories&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
