You Know You Are a Coin Collector When........

You are writing down model numbers of a product and put down an S and then a D right on top of it by accident. First thing that came to my mind was the 1938 D/S buffalo. I wonder if that billing sheet is worth more now!

You find a coin on the ground and automatically check the type, date, strike, and condition of the coin.

 

You make posts on CT at 1 am on a Friday evening.

 

A real LOL

 

You check a coin twice to make sure that you didn't miss DDO.

 

...... when any coin with a hole in it makes you angry.

........ when clerks and cashiers notice you peering into their cash drawers.

......when you look up from poking through the 'have a penny give a penny, need a penny take a penny' dish to see people staring.

...... when people start asking for a business card due do multiple referrals.

....... when you stop spending change you haven't 'looked at yet'

....... when you can identify a coin by its sound when dropped, in many cases even a relative age!

....... when your girlfriend asks, "Can I spend this?" before spending it! :thumb:

 

....When people ovoid asking how your weekend was, because they know the conversation will somehow end with an itemized summary of eBay purchases and a convoluted explanation of why tarnish makes them more desirable.

 

yep

 

How about 2 in the morning?

 

...and then you break up with her after she spends it.

... Whenever somebody puts a coin on the table at the Bridge Club you check it out for date and type,

... When all your friends save any new coins for you,

... When you get a momentary rush of excitement at a disc on the pavement, only to realise it is just gum,

... When you have two sections of your purse, one for spending money and one for coins you haven't checked yet,

... When you would feel naked leaving the house without your eyeglass,

... When the greatest excitement you can remember in the last year was when that difficult gap in your collection was finally filled!

 

when you wake up and read all these posts

 

When your spouse stops spending change and leaves it for you to search.....

 

When the girls at the bank know you as "the penny guy" even though I've asked for cents 1000 times.

 

When you ask your mother in law to bring cents back from the east coast when she goes on a trip so you can get some P's you need.

 

You Know You Are a Coin Collector When........

You give your wife a birthday card like this.........

 

....when your sorting and making deals in your dreams.

 

When you have everyone at work trained to know what silver coins look like and they hold them for you....

 

... When the only fantasy dreams left to you are where you find the impossibly rare coin in a junk box in a flea market. (I usually wake up in a panic because I have then managed to lose it again on the way home!)

 

when you do your taxes and once there completed you've already spend 'd it towards a st gaudens or a roll of silver eagles or both...
