To me, a collector know what he is collecting, can grade them properly, and buys to fulfill a collecting desire and not strictly analyze potential financial returns. A collector can be cognizant of the fact that his purchase may not be a complete waste of money, but he buys based on his desire to own the little metal disk because of its history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Slabbing has made coin investing easier, which is fine, but people buying slabs and unable to grade themselves, not knowing history, to me is not a collector.
