I'm actually in the middle of doing this myself. I've got a very eclectic (ie. scattered) collection, and I've decided to focus my collection on a few premium pieces. As a result, I'm selling everything but a dozen top grade key dates. If you're on ebay next week, you'll no doubt see something of mine ;)

I'm finding the contrasts between UK, North American and Australian collectors very interesting. Here in the UK we don't really go in for slabbed coins (though it seems to be starting). UK collectors also tend to be less interested in mint errors and things like doubled die obverses - although there are a few overdates in the Victorian series and those are very collectable.

I'm quite into Euros at the moment - I've got at least a basic set from 1c - 2E for all countries except the Vatican City and Monaco. I've also got some of the French silver 10 euros that were struck for each region of the country. A bit like the US 50 State Quarters, but rather more expensive!

I did exactly the same thing. Some of the quarters in my collection were redundant and I just felt like spending them.
Now I only have a set of every quarter collection for their historical meaning (Vancouver 2010, etc.)

The reason why I hoarded so many coins was because I used to use the Coins and Canada website on which MS 63 olympic quarters would be worth several times over the face value.

I'm pretty much at the beginning stage...I mostly collect from coin roll hunting. I don't have the funds to maintain anything and everything but still try and get one of each year and type for each denomination. I tried to hoard copper and nickel but have to unload it now. Now that pennies are no longer being circulated I will probably focus on nickels more than any other denomination.
