<p>[QUOTE="ErrorHunter43, post: 2017154, member: 54353"]Nice to meet someone with an equally strange obsession!

With collecting, I smoke far less (and working on slowly quitting) and my coins are like a drug to me. When I am overwhelmed with work and school I will sit quietly in my apartment and go through all of my coins paying attention to the details in the wear and circulation of each (I could have an entire role of 1940 Quarters and still know the specific small details that make each unique; from the wear, toning, etc). I may even go as far as saying that I know each of my coins personally. </p><p><br /></p><p>I always have one or two that I will carry with me wherever I go. Currently it is a 1967 Kennedy Half with some unique circular wear and darkened edges. I know it is logically absurd but I feel as if I am carrying with me some ghost of the past which I am infusing with a piece of myself as I take it along my daily routines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
