286 coins out for grading (None left!)
At what point do you cross over that line between hobbyist and dealer that collects on the side?

Maybe if you have and submit hundreds/thousands of coins, and never sell any, you are neither a hobbyist or a dealer...

Not sure if I should be congratulated for turning a hobby into an obsession.

'hoarder', 'maniac', 'speculator', ...Gosh, I couldn't afford to not sell most of these unless I wanted to be bankrupt.

Yeah, duplicates, that's the ticket.
@mavs2583 said:

Looks as if you are both now.... Good luck in both your endeavors... If the business does not work out, you can always enjoy your 'collection'.

Thats more than all of my orders (barely) since I started in 2020. Takes quite a bit of ... fund-allocation commitment, doesnt it?
You're ... dedicated.1 -

First 3 grades in from a regrade sub, no changes. Tight! New certs though so hopefully some beans in my future.
32 coins in QA at PCGS, F5ing today.

WOW my 32 coin sub did amazing!
2 body bags, both of which I expected (16-D Merc and 42/1 Merc) and everything else straight graded, including some thousand dollar coins."It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."

@DelawareDoons Do you mind sharing what was in there? I’ve been wondering for a while now lol

The two walkers and last ASE aren't mine either... but everything else is. Several of those coins have featured in recent threads of mine too, like the 1984 Olympic $1.

@DelawareDoons I don’t think there’s any doubt in my mind anymore that you have transitioned to dealer. I don’t know any collector that has 11 duplicates of the same coin.
Congrats!1 -

Where the hell do you get 11 79-S's at 66?I purchased 17 original, unpicked rolls. That's where the 67 in my earlier sub came from, as well as all the other 79-S toners in the latter half of that group.
There was also 30 65's, 54 64's. The 65pl came from those too.
Here's the one toner I'm going to keep.
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."

I suspect that toner looks better in hand - I think TV mutes the luster too much at times on the toners.

More grades in.
Thought the FEC was a 58. Figured the half had a 50/50 shot at grading, I'll crack that one and try again. 1920 quarter came in a grade higher than I expected. Everything else pretty much as expected. The Merc, I graded that because it was a $10 cherrypick lol.

@DelawareDoons How on earth do you manage to cherry-pick a 1941 proof Merc in 66? And for ten dollars at that! I’m stunned!

Got the other grades in over the past week... Though I have sent a handful more out for grading as well. Not sure how I missed the PVC, I'll have to fix that.
I was expecting a solid 25% of these to bodybag, so this many straight grades is a big surprise.

Congrats! That's quite the "batting average"!
As far as the dealer/collector conundrum... I recall something about "not getting high off your own supply" that makes you a dealer...
Thanks again for taking a look at my quarter eagle!!

I had a pretty good system going last year.
Submit six, sell five, and keep one.
Nothing major but I never lost money.
I have thousands of baseball cards milling around and being listed on Ebay.
Seriously, careful what you wish for... lol

Wonder if any are going to CAC?

CongratsI got the first of the last batch (the group that includes the '77-S trade) back yesterday and sent a box to CAC today, yeah, with about 85 coins and $56k in stuff in it. Sorry JA and CO.
Times like right now where I've bought maybe 5 coins this week don't make me feel like a dealer... It's really slowed down, I'm just left with this pile of like 250 slabs to unwind. Not that I'm complaining, I really needed a slower month here to get things unwound and make some money back, my poor credit score is looking rough since I run this whole shebang off credit cards.
