With coins, when you buy from a dealer you can be sure that you are getting the actual product, rather than some cheap import that has been modified (stepped-on for other ex hippies). Whit a coin dealer you can be sure you are getting what you pay for, not true for heroin dealers.
Wait a minute.....
Buyer: Is this thing the real deal? Dealer: Absolutley, you know me and you can trust me. We've been doing business for years would I lead you wrong? Buyer: What happens when I get this home and it ain't as good as you say? Dealer: Use you own judgement but I have been on this street corner for years.
Buyer makes the purchase, takes it home. Sends it to an outside expert. He paid for MS and it's BB for altered surfaces!
Buyer: Hey man, you said this was cool! It's a bunch of BS. Dealer: You pays your money, you take your chances. Get lost.
So the answer is there is no difference.
And no I am not cynical, I am old and educated.

You can resell or spend the coins after you collect them. Heroin turns to crap in your body, and then after a while the heroin turns your body to crap.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

The quality of the heroin you buy can only be judged after you've shot it into your veins.
We have the unique opportunity to judge the quality of coins before we buy them.
This is the only difference.
