<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 11276, member: 578&quot;]Good advice, guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of my thoughts would be:</p><p><br /></p><p>Take your time. Some of the coins we collect have been around for hundreds of years (or even longer). They&#039;re not going anywhere. Why not take the time to research them and get to know the ins and outs of what the hobby is all about?</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting burned out? Take a break. Try something different for a while. The hobby you love, will be waiting for you when you&#039;re ready to return.</p><p><br /></p><p>Listen to those who&#039;ve gone before you. Let them tell you about all the mistakes and pitfalls that they have had to endure. It could sure save you a lot of grief.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t worry about the minor details. Coins are meant to be fun. </p><p>Can&#039;t afford that key date this month?&nbsp; No big deal. You&#039;ll just have to save your money, and when you do get what you&#039;re looking for, you&#039;ll enjoy it even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah, and clad (or base metal) coins are just as much fun to collect as their precious metal counterparts. If you like copper, nickel, zinc, or whatever alloy, remember, it&#039;s all about giving to, and getting out of, the hobby, as much as you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can get a small fraction of the pleasure, that I have, from coin collecting, they will consider their time well spent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
