Seriously Considering Giving Up The Hobby For Good

Few weeks ago I noticed that coins take too much energy from me and I desided to sell the doubles and leave the collection as it is for a while. Well, I have found myself checking online coin auctions, asking coins in antique shops and thinking coin acquirings...

I started stamp collecting at age 15. Kind of gave it up at age 20 but then picked it up again at age 40 when I got some cheap stamps from my grandmother. Went at it strong for 10 years and then lost interest but still have my collection.
I also started coin collecting at age 15. Since then I have gone for a couple of years of interest, then put it away for 10 years and then got going again for a bit. It keeps cycling off and on. I pulled it out last month to look at it after a 10 year lapse when I realized I should update my penny collection of Canada before a bunch of them get melted down. I went to a coin show with my dad who is 81 and still into it. I have a 30 year old son who has a mild interest and that gives us a topic of interest too. I am glad I never sold my collection over the years.
I'm not in it for the money or as a business. I spend what I can afford and don't go crazy over it. These internet forums help keep up my interest too.

I am a good example of what TheForce is talking about. No one has seen me for awhile. I am back and have the fever again after a year. Other interest and things had come up and I just placed everything in the closet and closed my desk top, locked it and walked away until about a week ago. Now having fun with my collection again.
Thanks Biged

I'm going to take a different approach here.
I think our mind set (our being the members of CCF) is going to be what you have heard.
"Put it down for a while you'l be back"
"Save some of it, you'll regret it"
"just keep being a coin collector" (basicially)

My first thought was that your at the age where other things take precedence over saving shiny disks
like getting your career on track and raising a family.

So my thought is sell your coins and be done with it.
If you some day change your mind there will be more coins out there and plenty of time
and probably more disposable income to play with.
