  Too many, I should get a real job. Plus, what am I going to be when I grow up?

  Most of my 5-10 hours are on the forum. The only thing I do in the winter is snow removal which leaves free time for my hobbies.

  Full-time dealer, part-time collector, used to be eBay seller full-time. Hard to shop for myself nowadays.

  Probably as much time as I spent at work-40 hours a week. The hobby keeps me sane in my retirement.

  Same here, I am retired and it is enjoyment for me in my golden years. At least 5 to 10 hrs. a week.

  Interesting poll.
  
  Over 100 hours a week on your numismatic hobby? And three people thus far have indicated this? Really? 14-15 hours a day, 7 days a week? On your hobby? Yikes.

  I have several interests, so 7/8 hours a week on coins.... the rest goes to guns, MD'ing, spelunking, home maintenance projects, dogs, cats and occasional contract work.....Cheers, RickO

  Less than I used too new interest is loading the Vivofit with steps each day. Still on here, eBay, or imaging and cataloging new arrivals for a couple hours a day.

  It's no longer a hobby. It's a numismatic business.

  I can't answer because it's very erratic for me. I abandon coins for months on end, indulging in other interests, only to come back and binge on numismatics when I find an interesting project I want to complete.
