You know you're a coin junkie when...

When you carry multiple bags full of change to the coin counting machine and get stares from everybody in the bank excepting the employees, whom you are on a first-name basis with because you cash in so much change there.

When your daily workout is carrying 40+ pound boxes and bags of change from and to your car.

When you can tell roughly when a Jefferson nickel was struck just by looking at the reverse.

When you waste your lunch breaks cashing in enough change to make a rent payment.

When you spend at least two hours a week digging through your dealers junk silver looking for hole fillers or coins worth substantially over melt.

When you get an email from ebay every day because there's a match for a PCGS slabbed Mercury dime.

When you get teletrade emails at least once a week with matches for OGH dimes.

Some of your fondest childhood memories are digging through the corners of ball pits at Mcdonalds.

 

when you do a fancy dance when you find a penny on the street

 

...when you hear someone drop a coin and you know its silver.:yes:

 

When you were tempted to post here before math class...came back, and were distraught that this was falling to the bottom of the "recent posts" list

 

well, don't just sit around pushing the like button, post something!^

 

When you're dying because no one will post to the thread you keep bumping up.

 

When you don't buy a coin you wanted but ended up kicking yourself in the shins because it was the most beautiful coin ever.

 

Oh, here's a good one that I just remembered: When all of your coin jibberish finally convinced your friend to try collecting. true story. He seems to like large cents and mercury dimes from what he has purchased. 3 large cents last weekend. He got them for a reasonable price too, including a 1794 large cent, not sure what type though.

 

Where was it, What was it, How much was the price, Why was it so great, Who owned it, and why was it not purchased?!?

 

Why, why has this thread lost attention. guess I'll revive it in a month or too.

 

You appear to be confusing "coin junkie" and "forum junkie".

 

... when you ask a bank teller for a box of cents, and then she/he says, "How much are those, again?"

 

When your 2 year old daughter grabs your loupe to check out your coins and actually looks like she know's what she's looking for.
When your 2 year old daughter knows that every package you get has a coin(s) in it.... "Daddy, coins?!"

 

well then to refine that statement, When you are dying because the coin thread you keep bumping up is dying, and you want to hear more numismatic humor. Now have I got YOUR terminology straight?*he said pointedly*:devil:

 

your a coin junkie when after only 3 hours of sleep the first thing you do is start looking at your coins and sort them again

 

If only Numismatics was an elective for next year. You know your a coin junkie when you think that, and think you would ace it...
