<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2302970, member: 29751&quot;]Continually upgrading coins in your collection is not what I consider flipping.&nbsp; Flippers usually have little interest in the hobby from an historical or scientific standpoint, and are essentially online and/or vestpocket dealers.&nbsp; Flippers seldom know much about numismatics, unless it is something that can earn them a buck (e.g., they may know checkypicker guide varieties and nuances of a particular coin that may be undergraded in its current slab).&nbsp; Most couldn&#039;t tell you how a coin is minted, when milled coinage became the norm, when steam presses were introduced, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They are in &quot;the hobby&quot; to make money by constantly <i>flipping </i>inventory.&nbsp; They are not selling a coin here or there to upgrade a coin or build a higher grade collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not a black or white definition though, some people are hybrids.&nbsp; To each his/her own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
