Have you found yourself losing interest...

...because you just couldn't stick to a specialty? Did you end up spending, and possibly wasting, a lot of money on secondary collecting areas? Did getting back to your main area of collecting revive your interest in collecting?

Nope. Old gold still trips my trigger.

What's interesting to me about Coin Collecting is that over the past 38 years I have gone through phases where I focus on different aspects of the hobby.

I rotate sectors of interest amongst Morgan Dollars, Type Coins, World Crowns, Gold, Bust Coins, Seated Liberty, etc. I can always find a specific area of collecting to catch my interest. Some of this is commercially driven (not to make profit) to take advantage of what I perceive to be good buying opportunities in depressed price sectors, where I feel that prices are temporarily low.

hey Fifth

i have several areas where i collect seriously for the long haul, some where i collect purely for fun and still others that i search only raw for slabbing and reselling to finance the other two!! the hobby is to broad for it to ever be boring for me.

Sometimes I leave the forum and collecting,but it never adds up to more than a week.

As with most everything else in my life, my collecting goes through peaks and valleys.
