When your bored...

Coin collecting can never seem to take up enough of my time. After you run out of money and cannot buy any more coins, what can you do with your coin collecting hobby while you wait for more money?

Any recommendations?

 

No, just look up coin collecting. There's a bunch of them. It will occupy your time.

 

Read! Read! Read!

As I have told you and others before... READ as many books, magazines, newsletters and forums about coins/notes as you can get your hands on. Go to a library, subscribe to the ANA and use their numismatic library, visit a magazine rack at a local book shop and read Coin World, Numismatic News, whatever they have on hand... You can go to a coin show or peruse current and past auction archives on eBay, Heritage and other auction web sites that have numismatic listings.

READ! READ! READ! Then you will be prepared for your next round of buying.

 

You could listen to the podcast

And reading books isn't a bad idea either.

 

Get Loupy with what ya got!

 

Ummm........Evorlor already stated in another thread that he hates to read.

Chris

 

Really? I started a thread that called "Evorlor hates reading?" I make a joke and I get non-stop crap from GRUMPY OLD MEN like you.

 

Well aware of that, which is why he needs to be reminded to, "READ! READ! READ!"

 

Not at all... you simply made a bad statement that strikes out against you, sticks with you and defines the way you are being perceived. Nothing grumpy about it and nothing to discriminate about one's age over neither!

 

Can't Handle

As one of my favorite OLD actors once said~

"You Can't Handle Grumpy Old Men"!

...or something like that.....:rollling:

 

Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men..........

(Evorlor) You can't handle the truth!

 

Grrr....
As much as I may disagree with you, I just can't argue with Jack.

 

Speaking of 'Jack' why don't you take a little trivia-learning time and do an online search for the $10 Series 1869 Legal Tender Note, you might find an aspect of the notes design amusing. :thumb:

 

Haha. Took me a minute, but I see it.

 

:smile

 

This is the time I organize my collection, and see what I need to complete runs of coins and sets.

 

In a word, NUMISMATOGRAPHY

Taking quality photographs of coins is a hobby all in itself and it will greatly increase your enjoyment of numismatics especially if you like to share your collection with others on forums just like these. The best part, there is very little reading required, LOL.

 

This is when I get distracted by my other collections.
