Do you collect anything else other than watches?

As you can probably tell I also collect coins.. I have been for about 5-6 years(like 3 years longer than I've been collecting watches. Just curious if anyone else collect anything other than watches🤔

Used to collect comics but know ı have a money eating hobby 😂

·

I collect signed first edition books 📚.

·

Fountain pens, foreign language dictionaries, cookbooks, and books on philosophy and esoterica (I admit completely pretentious!)

·

vintage lighters :)

·

I have a modest collection of folding knives as well.

·

Vinyl and books.

·

I seem to collect collections. I've collected everything from stamps and coins to CDs, DVDs, computer games, books, comics, and even floaty pens. It's all madness. Now I metal detect and collect worthless scrap which I dig up from the ground.

·

Indeed I do...

Debt. I collect debt. Wish I collected something else.

Loved my stamp collecting when I was a teenager. Still have a few albums

Started collecting WW2 binoculars during COVID

·

Once in a while I’ll buy silver coins, horror comic books and books.

·

Fountain pens (and ink, by association).

I actually made this pen on a lathe the other day! Not a fountain pen, but a combo ballpoint and pencil. Made from ocean blue acrylic and flame Maple Burl. The ultimate teacher pen for day-to-day use.

I found the quarter in our snack bar change at work. I got the dime back as change at a gas station. The Freedom Girl round from the Silver Bullet Silver Shield series is just beautiful.

I collect a lot of the pre1964 U.S. "constitutional silver" but your freedom round is pretty cool, "Listen to all, follow none."👍

Definitely the “unpolished” crowd! I hated any kind of post mark or any sign that my stamps had been touched before!

Oh meant the dial people. “Look, this one has a HALF serif. And-and the text on the next generation 2 years and 4 months later has the full serif!”

I think the “don’t polish” position is a fairly understandable one.

Just look at all those walking libertys and Benny halves. The only time I ever was able to score some was when I asked for halves at my local bank maybe 15 years ago and the gal produced a roll of both those types which I promptly snatched up. I gave a few as gifts but hung onto most of them.

That’s so cool.. idk anything about comics but I wish I got more into them when I was younger. My mom bought me a couple of old Spider-Man comics when I was young and I have no idea where they are now🤦🏾‍♂️
