when you stop you're car to look at a bilboard with a coin pictured on it:rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling:

 

That rules you out, since you showed up that way and everyone knows you lose brain cells in that place, not gain them. :whistle:

You know you're a coin collector when you shop for new living room furniture so you can look for change under the cushions. :whistle:

Ribbit

Ps: Now try shopping for new living room furniture without checking for change under the cushions!

 

You know you're a con collector when you volunteer to vaccum the house so you can check the filter for change afterwards. :whistle:

Ribbit

Ps: You also use the little attachment and vaccum the "pockets" of the living room furniture well.

 

You know you are a coin collector when you don't want your coin to be graded ABOUT GOOD, GOOD, or even VERY GOOD.

You know you are a coin collector when you ask the bank teller if they have any dollar or half dollar coins.

 

When your wife stops asking what FedEx delivered because she knows.

When you buy coins "you" really want as gifts for your wife. You tell her they are for her, but we all know the truth.:whistle:

Is there a help line for the addictive coin collector?

 

You see a penny on the ground, pick it up, check the date/mint mark/look for errors and then throw it back on the ground.

 

When someone offers you a coin and you ask the grade. They reply it is MS65 and you say "oh that's too bad, I need a 67"

 

Haha, nice! :thumb:

Nice ones guys, keep 'em coming! :thumb:

.... when you're expecting so many coins in the mail that when a couple bubble envelopes arrive, you really don't have any idea what's in them until you open them.

 

..when you hear Philadelphia mentioned on ESPN and you instantly start thinking about the US Mint instead of the world series.

 

LOL :mouth:

 

when the bank teller replies ''no we don't have any of those'' to you when you walk in the door

 

When you hear any metal scrap sales going on, you can't help wondering if any coins fell victim to such program.

 

when you write a check to replace the notes and coins you took from the plate passed around at Church on Sunday morning,


BTW...I do not do this! I was just thinking about the worst senario I could imagine...LOL

when you agree to take the family on an expensive weekend trip to London (and pretend to enjoy it) just so you can attend the mega large Coinex Coin show held there every year in October.

...and you know you are a "mature" coin collector, when you get to London and learn that the Coinex show had been held the previous week (!!!!), and still pretend to enjoy the (very expensive) trip to London........

 

Oh dear Eduard, sounds like you have been in that case!

 

i Tell you GX, that was a real dissapointment...on top of that it rained the whole weekend...

My wife tried to make up for it by having us visit the British Museum twice over the weekend. I tried to explain to her that seeing their wonderful coin collection would not really make up for missing the show, since you can't buy any of their coins.

 

Now that is pushing it. Going through the change in the collection plate, looking for a Wheatie? That has got to be the worst case of addiction I've heard of!

Ribbit

Ps: I guess if anyone complains, you can always quote scripture to prove the necessity to do it. Knock and it shall be opened. Seek and ye shall find . . . . that Wheatie.
