    I could quit...



    ...if there weren't any coins.

    There's always tokens and currency... it never stops.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    You will quit when they throw dirt in your face.

    This is an easy hobby to stop. Of course you will have to by a few things first. You just take any Silver coins, preferably very hearly ones, melt them down in a small foundry, pour the Silver into a bullet mold. Now remove the lead bullet from a .357 cartridge and replace it with the Silver one. Insert in a .357 S&W revolver. Place against your forehead or temple and pull the trigger.
    The reason for the Silver bullet is just in case your a Lycontrope.
    If you continue to collect coins after that, then you really have a problem.

    You can never quit if you are passionate about the hobby unless it is a financial
    burden and/or consumes all your time.

    If you meet the goals you set then you can sit back and admire
    what you've accomplished.

    Of course this is only my opinion...others may vary.

    If you would like, you can quit next tuesday at 2pm. I think that there's an opening in the schedule.

    If you can quit then you were never really passionate about the hobby.

    I hear that SaintGuru is offering a twelve step program on giving up coin collecting. Of course, step one is giving all of your coins to SaintGuru. image

    This weekend I was seriously thinking about completing a set of Libertads, Maple Leaf, Kookaburras, and Brittanicas-- then I was like Why!?.

    My collection would be amazing if I could FOCUS. :/

    Why quit when there's so much left to learn?

    When it stops being fun for you, then you should quit.

    Remember, its a hobby. Treat it well and it will treat you well.

    You can quit when you're satisfied. And everyone knows that a woman is NEVER satisfied. Therefore, you can NEVER stop collecting...image

    This is news to me, but I would certainly offer the therapy that Rob is referring to for the stated fee. Please, no moderns. image

    It's like quitting the Soprano family.

    You'll just end up hanging yourself.

    Why quit?

    Slow periods of less interest I think is normal, but not quitting.....

    You can't quit yet. You don't have them all. I still have coins in my pocket. image
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    "When can i stop collecting coins?."

    The first step is admitting that you have a problem.
