finish the sentence ...you spend hours and hours looking at the high priced coins in the magazine ads, then get excited when you get a Canadian penny in your change.:mouth:
You drive all over town visiting banks spending more money in gas than the value of the 2 40% silver half dollors you found, but you are happy because your collection of silver coins just increased...
...you force everyone in your family to bring their pocket change to you for inspection. "What, you got a penny back from that burrito? Let me see it."
Wow, this reflects on my life quite a bit. Post #1...Check! Post #2...none of my local banks carry half dollars Post #3...Check! Post #4...maybe someday Post #5...Check :rolling: (the key is to dream about women WITH coins...) I will add: When you can't really afford to get new coins, so you create endless charts and graphs tracking the collection you do have! (Check!)
You dump $25 worth of cents into the coin counter at the bank and then bring the slip to the teller and ask for a box of cente!
You spend your lunch time at work feeding nickels and dimes to the snack machine and hitting the coin return and keep repeating that untill you've looked at all the coins in the machine.
You start planning vacations around coin shows and coin shops you want to visit...and drag the family along with you. Guy~
...when your visit to the grocery store starts with a trip by the CoinStar machine before you check your grocery list.......then go back and recheck the "reject" bin before you leave.
... when you still buy the Proof, Silver Proof, and Mint Sets plus other various offerings from the mint even at the ridiculous prices they are charging.
