<p>[QUOTE=&quot;savitale, post: 7721932, member: 95284&quot;]I really dislike the term &quot;serious collector&quot; or &quot;advanced collector&quot; as a proxy term for someone who is buying expensive coins. Hogwash. You can be &quot;serious&quot; or &quot;advanced&quot; buying $5 coins, or collecting coins from circulation for that matter. One could also be a complete nut case and buy $1 million coins if you have the money. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the origin of this nomenclature comes from dealers and auction houses who have some obligation to stroke the egos of their wealthiest clients. I have heard few - or maybe no - well-heeled collectors actually refer to themselves this way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
