How Messy Is Your Hobby?

Looks much better than mine. And I don't even have that many coins.

I'd put a photo of my desk, except my coins are on my desk, in the closet, on the shelf, at my desk at work, in my pocket, etc.

I am currently living with a family member so all I have is just a bedroom to work with so I have stuff EVERYWHERE!

I have shipping supplies and the coins I'm going thru to try and sell all over the place at the movement. It's kinda sad.

I would post a pic of my desk ,,but I dont want anyone copying my system ,, Ya Right !! My desk is a mess always has been always will be .

*Grins* Well I'm glad to know there is as much variation in style of sorting and storing as there is interests and collections. I wish I was one of those persons where everything had it's place, and it stayed there, but my husband is far too messy for that to happen.

The only time my desk has really looked worse was when I got one of those 22 pound Bundesbank bags for my birthday. That was a true disaster, and I loved every minute of it. I tried to actually create a map of the world, between my desk and two tables. I still have coins in little bins, stashed away that I haven't really sorted through. (I can't force myself to be interested in seventy-five identical Spanish Pesetas.)

Thank you to those of you who took a moment to look at the rest of my gallery. Photography is something I enjoy, but only rarely dabble in outside of photographing coins.

GO - if you are really interested, I'd be more than happy to put together an assortment of more than just Spanish pesetas, and send them your way. I've got a tonne of French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, and probably a few more European countries just stacked about in Multiples. Some Australian duplicates too. That's the only real risk in buying the big bags; you get so many duplicates and they rarely come in perfect condition. All of these coins have been circulated but are still good enough for a collection.

So, if you're interested, just shoot me an E-mail and I'll see what I can do. :)

ElleKitty you don't like Chocolate do you? lol

I just had things spread out through the dining room and at our desk. Had to clean up before the girlfriend gets home from her business trip tomorrow!
