I sell coins, I trade coins & I buy coins.... definition of a dealer is "A person who buys and sells goods"... therfore I consider myself to be a dealer... However I am a dealer who runs at a loss ... I lose money with my coin dealing than what I gain... I don't think coin dealing will be my profession, but who knows....


Some of the well, known dealers in Australia are fully qualified IT , marketing or finance professionals turned coin dealers...they like it and they are good at it... so why not do it .....
Collecting coins is not about having the best, but loving what you have ...

Just read a little, and may have understood a little about Cognitive dissonance. I think I saw kids, ordinary people, politicians and.........ostriches :huh: :grin:
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!

Me too, But like all punters I only remember the winners and rapidly forget all the loosing plays :angel:
Especially when you see something and think WOW that's a bargain, I could make a quid with that.
Then promptly decide "Bugger it it's too nice" and keep it for yourself.
This tends to happen a lot :angel:
Anyway Who cares , as long as you are doing what you enjoy :wavemulticolor:
Aim well to enjoy life. You only get One shot at it.

Sounds very similar mate, I have 000's of coins fit that category... I also consider myself to be a hoarder aka collector ...
