<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1778563, member: 11854&quot;]This is done on a common enough basis such that it is not rare.&nbsp; However, it is generally a <i>very poor strategy. </i>&nbsp; Typically, a collector will spend some years buying just the right coins in the right grades and will have a collection that is far nicer than can be hoped to be maintained on a rolling stock basis.&nbsp; Then when they set up at their first show or do their first vest-pocket dealer show they sell a <i>huge </i> percentage of their collection (stock) because the coins were so choice or were the &quot;right&quot; coins.&nbsp; The second show sees more success, but by the third show they have pretty much sold everything that is especially nice or choice and then they can&#039;t hope to possibly refill their stock with equivalent material.&nbsp; These collector-dealers tend to flame out quickly and have to spend time rebuilding their now gutted collections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
