Firstly, I'd like to start off by saying that the passion of coin collecting is withing you not other people, NO matter whatever they say you should have the passion within you forever. I'm only 14 and have barely collected for 2 years but I have learned so much from this forum (CCF). I would personally suggest you not to leave this forum but if you plan on leaving I would STRONGLY suggest you NOT to quit the hobby.
I am much younger than you but am too a beginner of this lovely hobby.
Thanks!
TheKid!
