<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 2891271, member: 74624"]I too started collecting young and then went through a long period of not collecting until after a divorce. At that time I got into building modern registry sets and buying rolls of small cents. I probably spent too much money on rolls before realizing I was coming out on the short end; I did enjoy searching and did find a number of semi key IHC and Lincolns. A few years ago I decided to retire early and purchase a second home before officially retiring. I needed money quickly so I ended up selling most of my collection at a significant loss (if I would have sold the coins at auctions or eBay over a longer period of time I probably would have fared much better). However, I have no regrets since I'm now retired and live where I bought the second home. I have jump started my collecting once again but in a different direction. I have more interest in building a nice type set, learning everything I can about each issue. Instead of dealing with a bulky collection of more common coins, I'm much happier with quality over quantity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
