<p>[QUOTE="myk1652, post: 505138, member: 10295"]<b>Are we talking about collecting fatigue or the end</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have gone missing from the collecting arena many times in my life; sometimes I just get tired of it ... the same faces, same grading points, etc.; sometimes I get frustrated about paying $$$; so I just find myself less interested ... but then it starts back. As I have aged, i find myself exploring more things -- I defected from large cents to Spanish silver ... I finally got a Pillar Dollar (way cool!) ... always wanted to hold one ... last year I impulsed bought an English silver penny (Edward III) after reading a book on the middle-ages ... and you what, I have really enjoyed that coin: looked at it, passed it around the room, read more about the penny as a denomination and how it shrunk, then became copper ... and so on. Oh well, I guess you can see my point ... new stuff, enjoyable stuff, not just dates, mintmarks, full horns or bell lines ... all this is good too, but the break has been refreshing. Last week I bought a horse and plow NJ ... can't wait to attribute it and learn about it (I don't need them all ... just a few to make the books more interesting) ... :eat:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
