Tightly Held Collection

I see this phrase used mostly when a dealer states a coin is off the market in a "tightly held collection." I wonder what most people think this means. To me---it means a coin in a collection where the collector doesn't sell and has no plans to in the future. Does it mean something else to others ?

It will be held for the very long term and, therefore, off the market for many years.
I agree that, many times, such collectors have no interest, in the registry game, so it is a coin that you may not actually see for decades to come.

Or it means you need to pay me stoopid money to pry it away.
How true!
Everything has a price......everything.

Same as strong hands. Means that whoever owns it has no need or desire to sell it.
The term "In Strong Hands" is used far more often then "Tightly Held".
When I hear "strong hands" I think no intention to sell, and not likely to be forced to sell.
When I hear "tightly held" I think private, not flashy.
The Carter 1794 dollar is in strong hands, the Farouk 1933 double eagle is tightly held.
A private collection - not in the Registry; not posted on here or elsewhere online; not displayed at shows, etc.
This sounds like my collection. I'd love to share it but only want to do it if I can do the pieces justice with great photos but I can't right now b/c I haven't gotten around to getting a good photo set up yet. Feels strange to have some 0 known (besides me and the seller) pieces.

Interesting. I always thought the Farouk 1933 double eagle owner had no intention to sell and was not likely to be forced to sell.
