[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 25357292, member: 112"]I think all but some of the newer members know this - I sold my entire collection in 2006 - and haven't bought a coin or collected any since. But that doesn't mean I lost my interest in numismatics, far from it. For those who don't know, I started collecting coins in 1960 and continued to do so, with a few brief interludes due to life mixed in, until 2006. It was then that I finally discovered something about myself. That what I truly loved about the hobby more than anything else was the study of coins. So that's exactly what I did, I sold my collection and continued to study them. I also continued to write about them, to teach others about them, to help countless others with their collections, and to share the knowledge about them that I had spent my entire life acquiring. And I still continue to do all of that every single day ! But I no longer collect coins at all, and haven't for almost 20 years now.[/QUOTE]
