[QUOTE="planman2014, post: 2451905, member: 71412"]There are big time coin collectors who do not actively participate in the hobby. No shows, don't talk to dealers, not on forums, etc. Do you know any? How did you meet them? How did they acquire their coin or coin collections? I think many of those stories you read of some guy or gal with a massive collection or an extremely rare coin (Didn't some old Englishman have a AU 1796 Half Cent that his relatives found sell and sold at auction just a few years ago.
