<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4046247, member: 112&quot;]Yeah some are. But many collectors just flip coins too. I used to do it myself on a regular basis. That&#039;s how I paid for the coins I really wanted to keep. I&#039;d see a raw coin, know what the TPGs would grade it, buy it, then turn around and sell it right away for 3 or 4 times what I paid for it to a dealer usually, because he knew what the TPGs would grade it too. And he knew he&#039;d still come out way ahead of what he paid me !</p><p><br /></p><p>And for the record, I&#039;ve sold 2 entire collections in my lifetime, each collection all at once. And within 2 maybe 3 months, each one of the coins in my collection were up for sale at various dealers across the country. With each one being offered at double or more what I sold it for.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then ya also wanna think about all the big name collections you see come up in the big auctions all the time. Who do you think those guys are ? They&#039;re collectors, SELLING their collections ! So yeah, I get &quot;strong hands&quot;. But hands are only strong for so long and then they let go - if they are also smart hands <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The very best advice I could ever give any collector, and I&#039;ve done it many times on this forum for as long as I&#039;ve been on this forum, is this - sell some of your coins once in a while ! For it is only by selling them that you can learn how to buy coins correctly <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
