Collecting coins has truly afforded me an accurate perspective concerning time [1600 doesn't seem that long ago] and an appreciation for life 
Probably just my older age.
What non numismatic thing have you acquired through coin collecting?

An appreciation and a bit of skill (luck?) with macro photography.
A better appreciation for the complexities of international trade during the colonial through civil war time span.

Meeting interesting collectors and dealers with whom I can share knowledge, experiences, stories and friendship. An appreciation for true condition rarity and absolute rarity and an outlet for my need to have order, completeness and to manifest my other OCDs. I have also learned a great deal about history and art appreciation through coinage.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

A broader appreciation of politics, art, history, and geography.
I'd agree with Steve.

It's easier to buy coins than sell them.
Although it never really has been a problem, my patience has been strengthened on all levels

A much-expanded knowledge of history, more than I have been learning in school.

Coins are secondary although this is my favorite forum around!

I have gained a little patience. Just a little.
Yes, appreciation for history/governments/monetary policies. Strengthening my ties to places I've lived (Japan). Also a budding interest in photography, bullion, and even website builds. Enjoy travel more. And, also importantly, some good internet friends!
I have found that numismatics has reduced my time wasted in taverns ....
Now I like to waste my time on coins with a glass of wine at home.... 
Cheers, RickO
Very beautiful
Thank you.
