<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1360949, member: 13650"]I believe a serious collector would be anybody who thinks about coins on almost a daily basis. Who also actively seeks out and buys coins for whatever price.. Budget doesn't matter. Somebody who studies and reads about coins. Spends a lot of time on coin forums. They may have subscriptions and/or a small library of books they read to gain knowledge. </p><p><br /></p><p> All of the above goes well beyond a typical collector who may get something once a year for Christmas or throws new, funny looking modern coinage (pocket change) in a jar because it looks different. Not saying that's wrong. Just stating the differences between what I believe to be a serious collector and a casual one. It's a huge difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
