   Suppose you just made a pop-top coin that's now worth 50x what you paid for it (we're talking thousands of $) .........do you sell or keep?

   Depends on the coin.

   Sell, unless it's one that I just absolutely can't stand to part with. Very unlikely, so I'd sell.

   << <i>I'd keep it. Just to brag. >> Imo there is much more to brag about by selling, banking most of the cash and buying one or two more at the lower price. (You can still brag on the first one, if you'd like, anyway.) who knows, maybe lightning will strike again?

   Unless that coin is more than 100 years old, you sell it immediately. If it is a modern, then you can bank on the Populations continuing to rise. Make hay while the sun is shining!! If it is more than 100 years old, then I would probably want to own the coin for some period of time, 2-5 years, and would probably sell the…

   Colorfulcoins, I would sell it unless the coin was part of my very prized Roosevelt Registry Set which was now #2 in all the land trailing only notorious Nick's collection. In THAT case, selling would be an abomination and emasculating. I would feel guilt forever and would not sleep at night. I would rather sell my house,…

   Sell. Pop top/Grade rarity stuff doesn't do a damn thing for me. I'd sell it so fast......well, I can't think of anything, but I'd sell it as fast as I could. Now, if it was just plain rare, well, that may be a different story.

    Except for coins for a collection, buying and selling is primarily determined by perception of future market performance. Many people rarely buy or ac- quire a coin except to add to a collection so this question would have little meaning to them. Since supply is the less important of the determinants of price, then it…
