<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bsowa1029, post: 24772053, member: 34652&quot;]Im almost exclusively a collector and I wouldn’t even remotely consider myself a dealer. I do however sell coins fairly often. Most coins I sell were part of my collection for several months or many years. Some coins I do buy having the intention to flip them.</p><p>I think with a lot of collectors their interests change over the years and they decide they don’t care to own certain coins anymore and would rather sell them to put that money into other areas of coin collecting that they now find interesting.</p><p>I think collectors taste can also be refined. I personally have been collecting Franklin halves for at least 12 years now. In those 12 years I’ve probably bought and sold 200 or so Franklins. A lot of those coins I bought early on I thought were “keepers” but as I refined my taste I realized a lot of them were just average, so over the years I’ve sold most of them.</p><p>Now I have my core registry set that is still missing 6 coins, I have about 5 graded franklins that aren’t part of my registry set and 20 raw franklins.</p><p>So over the years I’ve whittled down about 200 coins to approximately 50.</p><p>Even now I could probably get rid of 15 more and wouldn’t miss them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
