    My kids get the majority of my time, but after them and the coins, I do wood working and gardening.

    I do this. Coins come second...both are extremely expensive hobbies, but if I could only do one, it would be sailing.

    Here's pics of my last boat. New boat pics will be posted on my new website soon.

    Cheers,

    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    well, besides collecting coins, there would be collecting coin books, writing coin articles, etc. etc. i am sensing a theme here.
  • dcarrdcarr Posts: 8,451 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Designing coins, of course !
    Soon it will be designing and making coins, I hope.

    Also like "muscle" cars. Two of mine were featured on TV - "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gage.

    I bought a home in a little town in Ohio where my wife's family grew up and collect old postcards from there. It has given me a historical review that rivals the memories of the great-grannies we have there. It has been a terrific way to learn about the town and the families and the people and their attitudes. (I also have a small MB collection.)

    So, do you rob these graves or just support the thieves? image

    My other hobbies all have a central theme; death. I love horror books, films, music, etc. In fact, I started to bid on this Look at your own risk, but my wife just didn't want it in the house. image

    To put any/everyone at ease, I only like my horror to be works of fiction. I'm not that sick.

As I too am an addict of the game, I would like to invite all who are interested in attending the next Coin Show here to come a day early and we can hit one of my favorite courses! Will set it up if I can get enough responses (at least a foursome would be nice). Schedule Thursday for golf then the show on the weekend! PM or email me @ scorpio4988@aol.com.

  • One of my other hobbies is playing poker. Love it.

    Have to brag a little about last night, came in third in a tourny and pulled in $3000 for my troubles.
    Cost me $11 to play.

    Unfortunately this won't be going for coins(maybe 1 or 2 small purchases).

    I also collect Hot Wheels, some sports cards, and lots of other collectibles.

  • Attend every Raven's Home and Away game + tailgate. Believe me it's a hobby, tailgating takes a nice chunk of the week preparing.

    besides coins, what other hobbies do you have?

    No way... there are other hobbies? Just kidding. I enjoy a good game of chess every now-and-then. I'm the sponcer of the Chess club at my school. I also like to do yard work... when it's not so darn hot.
