I sold my Canadian Victorian large cent collection, for this... no regrets whatsoever, because my coins went to people who really love that series, and I absolutely love my motorcycle...

I don't think I could do it for another hobby unless I was flipping for profit or I just hated the coins. If I needed the money for an a emergency I would.

Yes.
I've sold quite a few coins to pursue US paper money. Collecting currency can almost be seen as an entirely different hobby, although they go hand in hand at most shows.

Is bill paying considered a hobby?

I once pawned a Carson City Morgan dollar for $65 (worth much more than that but I only borrowed the minimum I felt I needed) so I could attend a bachelor party for a friend of mine. I went back and got it a week later after I got my pay check. I will never do it again. My coins are going to either be in my possession or sold to someone who collects. Not locked up at a shady pawn shop so I could have some beer money. |

I go in cycles between guns, coins and military knives. I have almost always sold for a profit, and every time I come back to coins I buy higher grades, so it is almost like a big purge every 5 years or so.

I sell coins every day to pursue other hobbies. Only way I can afford the others .
