<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2250895, member: 22331&quot;]I consider myself a collector, but believe because of the magnitude/diversity of my collection, most would consider me an accumulator.</p><p><br /></p><p>In excess of a half century, I&#039;ve collected coins deemed to be &quot;futurely desirable&quot;, as pre-1965 U.S. Silver coins in better than A.C. grades, and certified pre-1933 Gold coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to generalize in S.L., Barber, W.L., Mercury, Morgan, Peace Silver coins, but acquire complete sets of the other Silver coins, as economic conditions allow. I especially appreciate/collect semi-keys, keys up to and including &quot;Gem State&quot; or HMPL, when TPG under-graded, allowing cross/advance grading by the premier TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always enjoyed locating similar pre-1933 Gold TPG certified quarter through double-eagle coins, but especially the scarce date, semi-keys, up to and including &quot;Gem State&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I generally haven&#039;t collected &quot;moderns&quot;, with the exception of 70 state proof Gold coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe there are copious coin investment opportunities available in todays market with the seemingly prevalent attitude that a coin isn&#039;t worth acquiring unless in can be virtually &quot;stolen&quot;. I just pay a fair market price for a fair market product, which associates of mine are elated to receive at my basis, after dealers have suggested/offered same at much higher prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>When one has collected a large 6 figure quantity of Numismatic items, many might argue accumulating.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
