Bored

Yep I got myself a coin inventory programme and have found I am always adding bits of info to it - taking photos of the coins, searching on the internet for some more info to add.

I surf around on e-bay as well, checking out selling prices of similar coins I have.

It's pretty simple for me.
My uncle was .... a Dark Sider!
When he passed he left me his collection of .... Ancients
which he of course did not catalog.
So when I'm bored I get one coin - operative word 'one' and for several hours maybe days!! try to identify.
This is so additive whenever I see one - not identified - I pick it up. SO there is always a few around to work on -
Never boring -

rec.collecting.coins should keep you busy for a few months.

which one?

well since I'm only 14. 15 in october.

I chat with friends,
myspace,
Play Video Games,
Hang with girls and friends,
Go to Mall,
and with the little time left
I do coins.

FREE?
other threads?

Bored ?......at a standstill ?

That's NEVER happened to me !..... most assuredly it's because I seem to be so unorganized all of the time !
There is ALWAYS work for me to do....
Taking pictures of coins
Beginning a "spreadsheet" or something to categorize everything the way I want.
Putting coins in 2 x 2's
Putting coins in tubes
Organizing dates and mintmarks of Wheat cent dupes.
Going through small piles of Buffalo's and IHC's that I've bought a long time ago that need organization.
Buying more currency albums and segregating the dozens and dozens of Silver Certificates I've picked up.
Going through State Qtrs. and getting rid of unnecesary ones I've saved to make future SHQ. Albums.......and deciding which ones are "upgrades".
Constantly trying to attain P and D mint of the SHQ's as well.

I'm always buying "little batches" of still more coins that need attention in the aforementioned manner as well.

I've never "had all of my work done" pertaining to my coin collection !
It remains a never-ending joyful mess to contend with !
But really, for me, that kind of stuff is a "winter time" project. When it's too cold to be doing other things.....

I have a rather small collection. and I can't quite go to bank at 11 oclock at night, which is usually when I become bored.

I already went through my whole family's coin jar's and made a wish list with ABP on them.

I guess what I can start to do is take inventory like yo guys mentioned. Any software I can download for free? that any1 knows about?

If it's night time you get bored there are numerous coin related things you could be doing. First you case the neighbors houses. That means to watch them. If you see a patern where they go out consistantly at the same time, rob them of any coins you find. Many 711's are open at night and you could rob them of all their change. Not many cops go looking for a criminal that steals only change. Find a busy corner in a busy, large city and stand on the corner with a pan, jar or can and beg for coins. Make sure you tell everyone you don't want any of those lousy bills.
By the way if you don't already have Excel on your computer, just ask anyone you know with Microsoft and they would have that program. Fantastic for a coin inventory. Or you could steal that also.
