<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1324621, member: 26302&quot;]I resemble that comment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its actually a great question OP, something I have thought about myself. My Modus Operendi is to buy multiples if available. I just got a package of coins from a dealer, every single packet had 3 or more coins in it. If I see a good deal on a coin, 1 is good, 3 is better, 10 better yet. There was a seller who had over the course of a month about 20 Cleo VII coins for sale in small groups, I bought about 12 of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes I wonder if I am an accumulator or a dealer who simply does not sell. I have the knowledge to know market pricing on coins, those Cleo VII sell for around $80 or more and I paid about $15 each, so it seems I do ok buying &quot;stock&quot;, but it just sits in my drawers and is never sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would be the dividing line between a collector and an accumulator? Baseline I would think knowledge, but if I look at myself I consider myself a knowledgable collector, yet have these piles of coins. I would next wonder if the desire to collect a &quot;set&quot; would define a collector, but then think of ancients and the fact many of us collect these to get away from the demand to complete a &quot;set&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I just don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
