Answer 2

You could do what I'm doing, that is, create your own website about coins!

It's a great way to participate in the hobby on a daily basis, and at minimal cost. And it's definitely not boring!

You need to find a goal to reach, or find some coins that you really like. I filled the holes bit, but went into numismatics which is the studying of coins and research. Historic coins are far from boring if one has a thirst for knowledge. It is a thrill to have a cent or 1/2 dollar that was used in the war of 1912. An 1861-O 1/2 dollar could have been struck by the US government, the state of Louisiana or the Confederacy. The state of the die tells all. I like coins from Asia and ones cast in 200 BC are not that expensive but the books to find out who cast them are not real cheap in the $60 range for a good detailed one and $12 for a basic one on the Chinese ones. How about world coins but the books on them can be pricey also. You need to find your nitch here and a price range, then buy the book. Hope this helps, but I will be here if you need more.

Respectfully, if you're bored, sell the collection and find another hobby? I figure, why spend hobby time on something that bores you?
