I gotta lay off the sugars..the above is a possible example of a scenario if you listen to the voices [emoji83] and let the coins take over.haha.[emoji6]

 

You know your a coin collector when...
You YELL at your husband for taking 8 quarters from you coin dish to wash the truck, "BEFORE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THEM"

 

...... AND when you find some really trivial maybe coin, so you then ask if you can buy all they have in the drawer.

.... all while there are HOW many people waiting in line but you really don't care.

.... then you ask if they could do a really really big favor and sell you a whole roll of coin (from their little machine that coughs up one at a time) because it would be a really really nice favor and you would really really appreciate it please?

..... still waiting

.... could I talk to the manager please maybe he or she could help me get another roll out of the machine since it only let you have one???

of course I would NEVER do something like that, because I am not THAT kind of coin collector.

 

What you're really trying to say is that you've tried it before, and you've learned your lesson because there aren't that many stores left in your area that don't have "No Trespassing" orders against you.

When your friends begin to understand what you are saying when you talk about proofs and finding silver in change because you talk about it so much.

 

You know you're a coin collector when........you tell the wife/husband that your taking the kids to an amusment arcade,the kids are all excited until you arrive and stick some bills/notes into the change machine,look at the kids and say "That's it,let's go.".and their like .
Oh yeh!..now that's how i roll.

 

When your 11 year old can, and has to, explain dozens of times that it's not a dime on her necklace, it's an 1839 sixpence because her name is Victoria too.

 

And then has to provide the painful explanation that, no, actually, you gave her the name on the pendant, rather than putting her name on the pendant...

 

You know your a coin collector when...

...you believe this thread is funny and really get the jokes

 

When all you get for Christmas is one coin and you're the happiest one there!

 

... when they say "damaged rim" and you look at your coins instead of your tires

 

When people only give ebay gift cards for your birthday cause they don't know anything about buying coins.

 

[emoji23] am pissing..nice one.

 

Or put another way......

You've just driven over a curb, and your tire is flat. The tow truck driver says, "Damaged rim." and you say, "Let me see. It might be a cud."

When you feel a sudden rise in anger when the bank clerk drops your roll handing it to you. "Thanks for the damaged rims sir!"

 

When you get to the bottom of the bottle realize Jack Daniels was lying to you all along about the 90 Proofs and realize you already knew there was no mint in Tennessee.

Happy Friday! (Careful with Mr. Daniels!)

 

I genuinely gasped when I read this..the thought of the roll dropping in slow motion [emoji79] no oooooh. .

 

I know a lot of old collectors who get pissed about this one. But you know you're one when you go into a store and try too spend a half dollar or dollar coin and no one but you and the manger knows that its legal tender.

 

You know your a coin collector when you realise and accept that there is NO such thing as a worthless coin.[emoji482]
