[QUOTE="imrich, post: 4089331, member: 22331"]I guess by your definitions of a collector, I must be something other than a collector. I started at step 2., and never progressed. I've virtually given away many of my poorer selections, acquired when I was less able to purchase what I consider a "quality" coin. I still have at least a 6 figure amount of less than "mint state" coins. I've collected for well over a half century, and hardly ever desired or bought the coins that I read the average individuals posting voluminously indicates they'd desire. I just desire beautiful coins, as I define "beauty". Fortunately I've found others who accredit coins, that do the same. I now look for their accreditations, review, and possibly collect same. I'm now contacting major auction houses, offering winners a quick premium for their coins that I deem a "good deal", under-paid. I now have major auction houses wanting to sell my "collection", of which I have no interest, as I believe tangible beauty is worth more than fiat or bit-coins, etc. I believe collecting has become easier if you understand how average "Quality" is defined (e.g. PQ, +, Cac, certified)?
