<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1361836, member: 24544&quot;]I think serious collectors have the state of mind you describe, but if you don&#039;t own a coin you are not a collector, otherwise you are a numismatist.&nbsp; With that said, I agree with your idea that there are many different ways to collect coins, all of which make that person a serious collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, a serious collector is someone with a plan in mind when they collect, a goal for their collection that reflects their individual interests, means, and degree of knowledge.&nbsp; That can span the map from Dan Holmes large cent type serious collectors to searching penny rolls for modern varieties, but it requires something more then just buying coins on a whim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
