The following is an article excerpt from Coinweek

Like most dealers, I started my numismatic journey as a collector. I began a collection of 1787 Draped Bust Left colonials at the precocious age of 10 or 11, and was spending much of my pre-teen budget on coins. At around age 13 I discovered Seated Liberty quarters and was hooked. I focused on this series until the early 1980's when I became a full-time dealer. When I started my own business in 1985, I needed money for inventory and, sadly, I sold my quarters. Ever since then, I've remained a dealer first and a collector a distant second.

Don't think I could ever become a coin dealer. Just can't seem to want to sell a coin. Not even one. At coin shows I see many, many coin dealers and always wondered how a person could sell a coin.
