<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1324874, member: 25270&quot;]I like what RaceBannon said. I&#039;d differentiate an accumulator as someone who just buys coins even if they don&#039;t need it for any set or whatever. You already have 10 examples of that coin, but you see another one and buy it and hold onto it. A collector has a goal in mind, or at least a method to his or her madness. When I first started I was more of an accumulator. I was so charmed by the idea of having an old piece of metal with a date on it that I&#039;d buy anything that was older than 1930 or so. Now I have begun to focus on completing sets or getting coins I don&#039;t have yet, and I sell my duplicates to get money to buy coins I don&#039;t have. I still buy duplicates if it&#039;s a good deal, but with the intention of reselling them. It&#039;s an evolution from accumulator to collector for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
