Jeeze Ive never really thought about it in terms of hours ?

5 or 6 hours a day on the forum I guess,except for weekends when that number can be doubled,, by the way I multi task and have several windows active most of the time .

In my coins a few hours a day ,either imaging, sorting ,or searching/researching .

If my wife says anything ,, I just tell her I'm hungry and I dont hear from her the rest of evening .

seriously my wife gives me Her full support and has never said anything about spending too much time with my coins .

Over the summer, usually about a half hour or so a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but never the same.

I teach at a high school, and teach at college in the evenings. So, I don't spend nearly as much time with coins as I would like.

Wow. Everyone seems so organised. I just dive into my coins whenever I have a chance to do so. Weekends are definitely the best chance for me. Saturday and Sunday I have probably spent twelvish hours going through the new coins I got at the store on Saturday; looking up interesting facts about them, and generally drooling over items on the internet. During the week I have much less time to devote to my hobby, but I still do research on the internet and prod ebay for interesting items.

Only got back into coins after I retired last year. Spend at least 5 hrs p/day reading, sorting, researching. Depending on what other things I have to do, it may go to up to 8 hrs.

For me it's a Clayton's job, the job I have when I don't have a job.

I seem to be the real addict here. I probably average at least eight hours a day online (It's 8:55 AM here and I've already been online an hour and a half. and will be until 5:15 PM. I'd be on even longer than that but I have tickets to the theater this evning.) Yesterday I was on 14 hours. And I still don't get everything done I want to online. I'm luck to be able to browse ebay more than a couple times a month. Which is bad because I need to do some more searching for slab varieties.

(Can you guess I'm single?)

I've been spending a lot more time recently due to the fact that my mother-in-law gave us a rather large collection of proof and mint sets from over the years (57 on up) as well as her whitman catalogs (some full some not so full). I have been spending a lot of time researching and cataloging. At first the wife complained but we recently discovered that I lost 29 pounds because I won't snack while working on coins. She doesn't complain any more!
