Have you ever had a coin-related dream?

Try not to laugh, but about a month ago I had a pretty vivid one. Here's how the dream went (abridged version):

I was searching through a coffee can of wheat cents and was getting to the bottom of the can without finding anything good. Then to my surprise I found a 1909-S VDB in F condition but it had a small hole... But right after that I found another 1909-S VDB in VF without problems! I was so excited that I thought it was too good to be true.

Then I woke up. Without the two 1909-S VDBs. Too bad.

I don't know what's worse- that I was dreaming about coins or that I was grading coins in my dreams and trying to assess value...

Has anyone else had coin-related dreams? I sure hope so, or else this means I probably shouldn't be on CT right before I go to sleep!

That's pretty bad brotha. When I worked at Blanchard, I would constantly dream about being at work. I guess that's coin related.

 

Do you dream in color?

 

Many times; and always comparable conditions - I'm skin diving around piers, and the bottom is covered with hundreds of coins. They never stand out by date / Silver / Gold tho', just plain coins..........

 

I have this dream...where Wold World III begins but tactical nuclear weapons were used and people live but buildings, locations are wiped out. We are thrown back into a barter system and I become someone important (in the underground) because of all the silver/gold bars, coins, rounds, that I had acquired in my real life. I buy weapons, ammo, food, supplies, medicine, etc. In the dream I keep counting my stash as to see how much I have left. I wake up and find myself looking at my gold/silver in my vault. This happens twice a week. Some weeks I use gold and some weeks I use silver. I dunno maybe I am just getting old.

 

Yes - once I dreamed I won the lottery and then bought the Cardinal Collection of large cents - and doug gave me a like.

 

In all honestly most of my dreams are coin related. I normally search coins right before I go to bed, and seems like alot of my dreams are just about searching and finding something amazing to be woken up and disappointed it did not happen.

 

We have some serious dreamers out there.

 

Okay, you guys are scaring me (lol). Maybe I should think about getting into a different hobby !!!!!

 

Yes. It's usually like NuMRmatist's skin diving dream only on dry land.

 

I'd say that if you don't dream about your hobby, it's probably time for a new hobby.

 

I dreamt that I was in a bar/casino in Virginia City, Nevada when a beautiful woman sat down beside me and asked if she could buy me a drink. Naturally, I accepted. We sat there for quite a long time just chatting and drinking. The conversation eventually turned to sexual erotica, and she then sat on top of the bar directly in front of me. I began to tear her dress from her long, willowy body.

Suddenly, I woke up and recounted the dream in my mind. I thought to myself, "Nah, that could never happen." As I got off of my barstool, I felt the crunch of some strange things underfoot. I looked down and saw thousands of Morgan silver dollars scattered about the floor. Then, I looked up at the wall and saw that coy look upon her face.

 

I've had a recurring dream ever since I bought my Nevada property in the late 90's. It's a big piece of dirt, but it has a verified wagon trail on it, and a few large piles of rocks on the hillsides - that appear they may have been stacked during the building of Lahontan Dam (near by) which started in 1907. I keep having a recurring dream of a strong box sitting under the rocks with a bag of Morgans and a few piles of gold coins in it along with some paper currency and bank documents.

As soon as I find a way to move ~1000lb rocks, I'm gonna find that strong box! I'll be rich! Rich I say!!! Muahahahaha!!!

 

I had dream a friend of mine that has passed away many years ago was giving me Morgan dollars . I ask him why , but he never answered he just keep giving me more. My wife had stayed at the Horseshoe casinon that night so I called and told her I was coming over to play the Binion machines.I won 750.00 after 3 pulls.

 

Congrats on the NICE half!....

 

Yes I was at the US Mint in Philadelphia year 1933 and the guy in front of me got all 1933 Saints.

 

I had a recurring coin dream some years ago where I was walking along a lake shore and finding several Barber halves, Morgan dollars, wheat cents etc. along the way. I must admit, I loved that dream! In the dream, I would try to stuff as many of the coins in my pockets. The Barber halves, I remember were mostly G4-VG8 condition. Naturally, I would wake up disappointed to find out it was only a dream. Ha, ha!

 

That's an awful lot like this real-life story. The real one, though, ends with a bit of a nightmare twist.

 

I once dreamed the U.S. Mint screwed up the rollout of a new issue by drastically underestimating demand and I was able to order some. Oh, wait, that just happened with the Truman Set.

 

It's actually better when your dreams become reality! Nice hit!!! So... How much went to new coins?
