<p>[QUOTE="andyluw12, post: 1261473, member: 31552"]I've noticed that when I get stressed or depressed that I go to one extreme or the other with coins and other hobbies-either they are a lifesaving distraction or something more heaped on my overflowing plate. </p><p> The last few days I have met some wonderful collectors, and one let go and also passed up on some great coins 30 years ago that he can't touch now for less than $400+ more than what they were back then. He has some major regrets now. </p><p> Put them aside until you have the time/energy/desire to enjoy collecting again. The wonderful thing about coins is that they are not just a hobby, but they are an investment as well that may really come in handy down the road. Unlike people and school, they will be there without you having to do anything to maintain them. Focus on your highest priorities now, and it won't be long before you will be back at it again and happy to pull your collection out to oooh and aaah at. Good luck to you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
