    Hello,

    I have a peace $ collection with 3 coins that I hate a lot, and a franklin half dollar collection with 6 proofs that I hate :devil: I want to sell it, but I don't know when. So help me out:)

    It's time to sell them when you no longer like them. Seems you are at that point.

    I got them when silver was at 40 though.

    i personally would sell them when youd be making a profit and only if you were investing it into other coins youd rather have!

    OT but i don't see that happening till the global economic slowdown dissipates.

    Sell them when you are ready to upgrade to the coins that you would love. Don't take the market into consideration, at the very least, you know what spot is "right now". So why not make a move and not worry about the market. You'll feel better about the pieces you will get, no sense looking at those pieces you don't like on a daily basis. Me personally, no silver bothers me, they all need a nice home.

    I have to ask why do you hate them? Personally I don't hate any coin. Some I love more, but I don't hate any. My advice, unless you need to funds to buy something you are more into, would be to put them in a corner. You might like them in a few years. :)

  12. Hold onto them until silver spot increases again (and it will but no one knows when) and then sell. TC

    I think you are giving up too easily being only 15. How long have you been trying to complete your set? You have a lot of time ahead of you to work on it and if you later decide to try for the set again, you'll regret having sold off the ones you already had.

    I would sell them if you want to move onto other ares. Especially if the Proofs are ugly, get rid of them!

    The dollar coin is the more valuable the longer, came alive again in a long period of time if you believe there will be more good price. g.gif

    Great sets aren't built in a day, week, month, or even year. They take many, many years to complete.

    Put them aside and come back to them when you have a decent income.

    Ahhhhh, but what it sounds like is that he wants instant gratification. In other words, he likes the coins just fine, perhaps too much even. And he would like nothing more than to complete the sets. But he can't afford to do that and so he's frustrated because impatience is getting the better of him.

    There are two keys to this hobby - knowledge and patience. Unfortunately they are also the most difficult aspects of the hobby to master. The knowledge takes time, no matter what. And patience, well that is an aspect that some never master. Those who do however are the most successful ;)
