These are all great (and meaningful) replies and I appreciate them all. Thank you. It's an empty house today, so I'm going to lay them out and have a proper analysis.

Hello all,
I would like to get a fresh perspective on our attachment to our collection. I've been collecting world gold for a few years now and have quite a large collection. I started as a stacker, but after taking an interest in LMU's, it morphed into a something that border lined an obsession. I also had the idea that this was part of my pension and the plan is (was) to keep the collection until my retirement years.
I'm getting a new business of buying and selling men's large chunky gold jewelry and have learned quickly that there's really good profit to be made. So, I've been toying with the idea of letting my collection go in order to fund a large inventory of gold stuff to resell. I have an interested buyer in my collection. As I was sorting and photographing it today, I noticed how "attached" I feel to the collection, and now I'm getting cold feet. It represents a lot of hours finding these coins, and there is a joy in the "possessing" of it. Now I'm questioning the wisdom of buying stuff that is difficult to part with...after all, we can't take it with us. It kind of defeats the purpose of holding it until retirement if I won't let it go at that time. A friend of mine runs an auction house, and I see what happens to possessions that we can't take with us that one's family doesn't want to deal with. 
So the question is, how do you separate feelings and possessiveness over your collection?  
Thanks!

Oh my...it's going to be a mad scramble for funds, and a lot of disappointment for missed pieces I bet!

Super rare one for you today in circulated but stunning condition 
1836 Peru (Lima) 1/2 escudo 
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22853.html
13mm of deepest peruvian glory 
Ever seen one before? 

Good list there but never heard of Best or Dicker.  .... what are they paying ?

Received the first of two coins I purchased from CDMA. 
I had an email from Royal Mail on Thursday to indicate they had received notification of an inbound package and that it's value suggested there woukd be duty to pay.
The package was delivered this morning with another SD. It is in ungraded condition, which supports the previous suggestion that grades are indicative. (In this case MS62) Paperwork was made out to correctly indicate 0% vat payable, and no charge has been raised by the Royal Mail. 
All in all, very satisfied, and the coin will be off for grading next week.  
 

I've just purchased a couple of sovereigns from a French dealer on the site, so I will let you know if I have any issues. 

Hi All,
There is a specific gold coin that I'm after for my LMU collection, and I have found it on the MA Shops website. I've never used the platform before and I'm curious to know your experiences with them, especially post Brexit. 
Thanks in advance!

Actually, Ma-shops is only a web platform for individual dealers. You should see the specific dealer for your coin on the coin's page. Most of them are German, but not all. So check your seller's country first - there are even some non-EU sellers there. The shipping terms and potential customs implications of your purchase will depend on the respective seller.
