I have 2 young sons, a new house with an acre of yard and 2 acres of forest, a job that can eat up 60 hours a week and addiction to fishing that usurps my interest in numismatics. I don't see burnout as a potential problem until retirement (at least 30 years from now).

90% of my collecting has been Morgan dollars. I went from all years to certain years 1890-1895 then to just "O" mint Morgans. I was starting to get a little burnout as theres thousands of coins out there to consider.
I started to look at other coins and the hard to find years and that has givin me a whole new interest in coins.Plus I have a lot of other interests,fishing,snow shoeing,shooting,metal detecting and just wandering these MT mountains. Actually I have more interest than I can do in the time I have left.

It's easy to get burned unless you have a focus area. Fortunately, I don't really go by album although Dansco really makes nice albums which I would probably make a custom set one day.

I have found that collecting a variety of coins helps stop the dreaded burnout. When I first started I only grabbed American coins but now I am after Canadian,Aussie and any large silver coins I can find so I never get bored
