Coin Addict

#1 Unread post by tab1962 »

Just curious how many of you would consider yourself a "Coin Addict"? I know when I have a few extra bucks after payday I think about my journey to the local coin shop-I enjoy hunting for trophies or missing coins in my collections. I guess being an addict in this hobby isn't as bad as other hobbies (i.e., golf, tennis, beer drinking, bars)...

Just thinking of how I am going to convince my wife that I 'need' a 1909 VDB S Penny(MS60 or better in Red or Red/Brown color).

I've used the following lines already:
1. Honest this is my last coin
2. It's an investment
3. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I got another coin
4. I need to treat myself

Back to thinking again...

When I'm not shopping for coins, or searching rolls, I'm finding better ways to photograph them, identifying my unknown ancients, updating a special coin website, or researching someone else's mystery.

I can't seem to get enough time for all the things I need to do with coins.

Does that make me an addict?
