[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 26750529, member: 11540"]My goal for more than 50 years as a collector has been to have fun. I would pick a coin type, buy books and study as I built a set. Having complete sets was never part of my goal. After a while I moved on to a different coin type. Having really nice examples of each type was my direction. Along the way I cherry picked a lot of valuable varieties. At age 65 I retired and started selling off my collection. My type set and varieties were the first to go and I made a killing in the process. I have saved all the funds I have raised up to this point. Those funds are going to be used on buying only a few coins that will be easy to pass on. My wife and son have a good understanding of the hobby. They will be able to sell when they wish and do something fun of their choice. I made one big mistake over the years. I bought way too much US Mint product over the years and have no idea what to do with it.[/QUOTE]
