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

I've gotten two of my friends seriously interested in coins, and a few more who have a passing interest.

...if you take 2 hours to spend $13 at the coin store.

 

Lol, not intentionally, but just today I spent an hour to spend zero on Ebay. I set up 38 snipes and got none.

 

...if you don't have to order boxes from the bank because they know you will be back soon and order one in advance, and refer to you as "that person who always gets boxes".

 

Or there's always the other side of that coin... It takes you no time to spend $100s at the coin shop.

 

your idea of relaxation is roll searching through 30 dollars worth of dimes in an evening.

 

You and your buddy get together and make a radio show..... About coins.

 

What are you, Rick from Pawn Stars? "I'm not sure but I've got a buddy who..." "That is really interesting, but I've got a few questions. Do you mind if I have a buddy of mine who knows a lot about that come and look at this thing?"

However, as to relaxation, nothing calms you down like some nickels and cents.

 

When your significant other says you need a haircut, and you think of your favorite coin because they share the same name.


Think about it.

 

When you have a want list and for some darned reason it keeps getting bigger than your wallet...

When you will probably never forget, I think it was Redwin's, short time signature. It went something like, "When I was a kid, my momma told me I was her million bucks. I told her I would rather be her 1913 V nickel." and had a second part something like, "One day I'll meet a girl I'll certify as PF70 DCAM" Though to me the second part is less entertaining, it was worth sharing because it was in the same signature. I hope I didn't screw it up to whoever actually had that. Got to love coin terms no "normal" people understand.

Lol, stupid me, I was thinking quarters, (shave and a haircut, two bits).

 

The thing is, the state quarters and stuff have ruined the denomination for me. Course now im feeling sorry for the cent.

 

-when you get really mad after looking at chairs etc made out of buffalo nickels or wheat pennies that people call "art"

 

There are words for such things: Unspeakable Horror

 

Yeah, people still buy chinese cash coins and use them as decorative pieces on clothing and various things. That peeves me off some to, using 100+ year old coins for decorations still today. At least most people who use buffalos now use dateless ones.

 

when your wife asks"are you not getting tired looking at coins for over an hour now" and you answer "we are married for 10 years and you never ask if i get tired of seeing you"
(Gues who is sleeping on the couch tonight )

 

You think a penny that cost $100,000 is cool

 

You really are fitting in well here.

 

You know when you are a coin junkie when you brag about being one :yes:
