Are all old sets being broken up?

I agree it's a shame when a rare set is broken up. I'm glad the Tyrant collection has kept the King of Siam set together. If my pockets were deep enough I would collect early sets and keep them intact. I've put together some early sets and have done my best to match appearance and quality, but don't have the patience to be other than partially successful.
My response is that there are still some nice unopened obw unc rolls of classic 20th century coins from the 1930’s to the 1960’s.
While they might not be matched 19th century original proof sets, at least some of the more modern sets survive in their original state unbroken. All is not lost.
Even Laura of Legend Numismatics sold me two nice 1956 and 1956-D obw unc rooselvelt dime rolls nearly 10 years ago,
They are still intact.

It was being sold with the original leather case. The case was definitely part of the experience of owning it.
Seemed like a good deal if someone had the money. Plenty of great coins in that sale.

I wonder if anyone has a very large self directed Roth IRA account consisting of numismatic coins?
I have seen self directed IRA accounts but not seen self directed Roth IRA accounts.
