Is This An OK Time To Sell My High Grade Type Set?

danreller

I'm thinking seriously of selling my High Grade (XF for early years 1800-1850, AU to MS68 to date) US Type Set. Heritage valuation of >13K. I don't need the $. However, I would like to pay off a rental property so that it is free and clear to prepare for college costs for my daughter 4 years from now.

Is this a good time to sell? I've been away from the forum for a few months save an interjection periodicaly.

I've often thought that the coin realm was for those with means. Is it still so? How's the market?

Should I sell or wait?

Sincerely,

Dan

The market is strong, and would be an ok time to sell. It may get even better, but no one knows.

with interest rates where they are I don't think I'd worry about paying off rental property so long as you have enough coming in to cover the payments/expenses.

Payments are 660 @ mo. , income is 850, payoff is a little over 17K.

However, house is getting old (1976 vintage, 3br 2bth, Greensboro, NC, 1873 sq ft, 1 1/2 acres) and may need repairs, although kept up with every request from mgmnt co.

I just feel - with it paid off, I have an extra $750 @ mo (after mgmnt fees) coming in rather than X going out.

It's really a trade off. Coins or House. I enjoy the Collecting of coins, but , have hit a Wall progressing in US coins..., (I still love Japanese coins and have probably a high registry level Japanese type set). I'm a type collector and I've come to a point where anything else I need in the condition I've persued is going to be over $750. I've come to a point where "is it coin or house payment"?

How many forum members are looking for what I consider good examples (PQ for the grade) type specimens?
