<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1604138, member: 19463&quot;]Many in the collecting hobbies will not understand but there are some of us for whom the coins are the goal rather than the cash value they represent.&nbsp; In 2012 I sold or traded away eight coins.&nbsp; Four went in one deal and four were singles including a rather nice left facing Gallienus I really miss but had to let go to get something I wanted more.&nbsp; By Medoraman standards, I might be considered a revolving door compared to his &#039;black hole&#039; collection (once inside they are never again seen).&nbsp; Nearly half of the people who have coins that bought/traded with me since the mid 1970&#039;s post on this site.&nbsp; Back then, I sold off most of my collection and regret that act to this day.&nbsp; One might say I tend to overcompensate.&nbsp; I have coins that mean little to me but never make the effort to dispose of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the difference between being a collector and a mini-dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
