    You are a coin dealer when you start getting calls and/or emails in the middle of the night with some one needing a coin fix!image

    OR when you can get your hands on high grade coins at a price low enough to let you make a living reselling them. Even better if you don't have to go through the process of digging through tons of coins to submit yourself. Lot of people don't know how hard a job that can be.

    The definition I would go by is when the hobby more than pays for itself.

    If your collection is drawing from your disposable income then you are still a collector.

    I think it might be when you subscribe to the bid sheet. That's when the line is crossed from being a happy collector to expecting dealer prices.

    When you can make a living at it.
