You may be a coin junkie... when you're mad at your wife and tell her you wouldn't hesitate to trade her for an American Silver Eagle.

 

Or in my case, men.

 

Exactly!!

I have to say I find it weird when the cashier says to the person in front of you, "That's $1.29" or whatever, and that person (usually female, but not stereotyping here) says ... "Hold on, I have the 29 cents ...", and then spends what seems like an age ferreting out said amount.

If asked, I always reply that I don't ... then get outside and check through the change!

Also love hearing the all-too-rare tell-tale 'ring' of a silver dime given as change ...

 

I'm not a coin junkie. I can quit anytime. No, really. I could quit if I wanted to. See? I just quit.......................................................................................................







Gimme a quarter!!!


Thanks, man

 

When you forgo the $4 Mocha at Starbucks and the $5 footlong subway lunch for a trip to the dealer to cherrypick through his tub of mercury dimes and other silvers. And you actually go during your lunch

 

...when every time you look at a 1955 cent, it looks like the double die for a split second.


This actually happens to me, just on different dates like the 1995 cent double die.

 

Then you're actually a coin junkie.

 

Why I can't like more than once

....you may be a coin junkie.

 

You attempt to grade a coin while walking on the treadmill.

 

When you search through books and catalogs looking for low value looking coins that are actually great rarities, then have dreams about finding 4 of them in the ancient junk box at the next coin show.

 

Or there's a nice grandmotherly type in line behind you and she pipes up and says "here, I have three pennies, take them". Of course you have to thank her and tell her how generous it is of her to do that. Inside though, you're gnashing your teeth and thinking " mind your own business you old bat!"

 

you cash a $35 check and ask the teller for three $10 bills and 10 rolls of pennies (as I did this evening )
