I started collecting coins about the same time you joined the forum.........that being said I'll never feel the way you say you feel about a silver collection.......sure I'll sell 80% of my stuff , in time....but to me it's the nostalgia, the history, the thinking of what the world was like when that coin left the mint.......Thats why I do it.....I'll never tire from it . Not for a long time I gather , while I gather more coins , sell some ....but always, always holding on.......Mod, you should ''hold on'' I while longer......jmho.
