Hard Times... Time To Downsize

I'm sorry to hear this too. Keep your best and sell the rest!
Things will come around for you.
I was just looking at Taras, son of Poseidon riding on a dolphin coins.
Anything nice enough was quite "salty" though if you'll pardon the pun.

Very sorry to hear that, I had to do that one time and it was very hard to part with some long time collections. Hope you get back up on your feet again soon.

I am sorry this has happened and I hope you get back on your feet very quickly.

Yeah ,your all tense and nervous right now . Give yourself some time to think things out , you might not even have to sell your collection at all . When one door closes , another one opens .

Thanks for the kind words, all

I am not planning on selling *everything* unless/until I absolutely must. I did buy a considerable number of coins specifically as an investment or to flip, so those are going for sure. Ditto with the lower grade Greek bronzes I don't look at, and the handful of medieval coins that don't really "fit" my collection. I also have a lot of Western Satrap drachms I had bought specifically to ID and sell, and I had always planned on downsizing my Indo Sassanians to just my favorite pieces when I was done with the write-up.

At any rate, I'm focused on a contingency plan first and foremost at present. I'll have a lot more spare time to take stock and make decisions soon though.

I feel for you man, I've been there and it is not fun,but it'll all work out at the end,job market is stronger than it was few years back when I lost mine , so hopefully you'll land another job sooner rather than later.I also suggest to hold on to your favorites, I did eventually end up dipping into my coins but not until $ got really tough!best of luck.

Will do. What areas and date ranges are you looking for? Probably the most interesting to you (which I had always intended to sell anyway) was that bracteate pfennig I found in a lot a few months back.
