<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2438354, member: 71338"]Bust halves are not too shabby. I have about 200-300 to spend on coins (or another hobby of mine) each month, which isn't probably that great to some collectors on here. But I make the best use of it I can. One of the most fun things I do is try and find good deals at antique markets, shops, and online. I have to maximize the value of my purchases. I also enjoy world coins because there's so much to collect. I mainly focus on 20th century coins. Sometimes I get preoccupied with one country, then I might move on to another or set of countries. Sometimes I also focus on US coins. It never gets old because of all the variety. This broad focus may not appeal to some but it suits me perfectly. Maybe broaden your collecting. Try dabbling I'm a few areas and see if it sticks. I understand the loss of passion, since I sometimes focus on other hobbies throughout the week. Having a few other interesting hobbies (eg metal detecting, reading, art) might keep the fire alive for coin collecting as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
