<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4051221, member: 112&quot;]Saying that people who pull State Quarters out of change and throw them in a jar, put them in one of the US map boards, or anything even remotely like that, are coin collectors - is like saying anybody that sells a few of the coins in his collection from time to time, or even somebody who sells on ebay now and then, or somebody who rents a table at a small coin show now and then - is a coin dealer !</p><p><br /></p><p>A coin dealer is somebody who makes his living from selling coins. Somebody whose primary source of income is from selling coins ! Not somebody who just sells a few coins and now and then and gets his primary income from his regular day job.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s more to being a coin collector than doing what I&#039;ve described above with State Quarters. Now granted, that&#039;s my definition, and I think there&#039;s a whole lot of other people who use the same definition, I&#039;d say most of them who actually are coin collectors do. But if some choose not to, have at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - as for the term casual coin collectors, ehhh, a nice euphemism I suppose. And I&#039;d even agree there are casual coin collectors. But these guys, myself, I&#039;d say wannabe at best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
