[QUOTE="Lueds, post: 7487675, member: 109500"]I also collected when younger, right through my Army days and only slowed down when I married and we had kids. Responsibilities first, no $$$ for a hobby when $50k comes in and $65k goes out... Now I'm in a better place, kids all grown, my wife of 5 years somewhat allows my coin addiction as I do make a few $$ here and there through FeeBay and FB sales. My old man was a Hoarder/Collector of many things and I got the bug when I was around 5-6 years old as Australia had switched from the old Pre-Decimal to Decimal Currency and the old coins were still somewhat in circulation. Coins, Tokens, Stamps, Football Cards, Rocks, Books, Critters (Lizards, ants lol) and pretty much anything that caught my fancy were my go to. We moved about a lot cos my old man was Navy and was posted here and there. I found comfort in reading and collecting.[/QUOTE]
