    There are investors and collectors . I think either way can be addicting. (usually in a fun way) but can you consider your self a coinaholic ? meaning you will spend money you shouldn't or will go after a certain coin no matter what it takes. do you find yourself buying coins just because you feel the urge ? is your savings being depleted because you are putting it into coin ? ECT...

    This is X115 and I might be a coinahlic LOL but I enjoy every minute of it.

    you can just say YES I'M A COINAHOLIC or no i'm not there yet.

    Oh for sure I am. I have many of times gone over my budget to get some coins that are available now and may not be if I wait a month or so, especially on ebay. I sometimes feel anxious when I am not expecting a coin or something coin related in the mail.

    I dont drink & I dont smoke but I do coins...im a coinaholic, lol.

    I never go over budget. It's like gambling to get a coin or coins that I want. I set my limit price and stick to it. I'm a collector but I'm not going to go bankrupt over it either.

    I have a lot of coins but I'm not a coinaholic as I can live without them as well. :)

    Not by your definition. My budget is what I find, and I stick to it. Do I spend too much time on coins to the detriment of more critical things (the usual definition of an addict)? Maybe :eek:

    Hi my name is Chris, and I am a coinaholic but not on the wagon yet. I mean, there are still SO many coins out there, wanting a home in my drawers!

    Um, yeah, I think it comes and goes. I can go a few months without finding any deal I cannot live without, and then I buy 5 groups in a two week period.

    I am definitely a coinaholic. Every coin is a coin, even bullion, and deserves to be treated as such. I roll and keep my pocket change, haven't been able to find the strength to deposit it at the bank, I handle the change by the edges so as to not touch the faces. I collect all coins and haven't ever sold a part of my collection and have almost lost control of my spending on coins, something which I never, ever would otherwise do.

    On the word control above, I wrote "cointrol" by accident, then I went back and fixed it and realized I typed the same thing again.

    Hi, my name is chip, and I am a coinaholic, I have went two days without buying a numismatic item (a hard times token that is in real great shape, despite an old cleaning, plus a bunch more 1942 mercs still looking for the 42/1,)

  17. Hi I'm TC and I am also a coinaholic. :) Interestingly, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) often recognizes sobriety and recovery accomplishments in part using coins/tokens and medallions.
