P.S.....Don't tell me - I already know - I need to be going to CCA (Coin Collectors Anonymous) meetings 2x every day and living a vigorous CCA 12-step lifestyle to have any hope of controlling my coin collecting "disease." Just tell people its genetic |

For me, it's getting American zincoln pennies, dimes, and quarters in my change. I chuck them into the garbage or train tracks or traffic, see who wants them that badly. I discourage their use in commerce in my country.

or as big as finding the authenticity of a coin without having it graded. Close. I would love to find an authentic (key date or otherwise expensive) coin that has not been graded, but that is increasingly unlikely. |

I have an idea for the good way to easily show and store your slabs. It is sort of like a 7070 Album. I think if you make it hold slabs, and about the size of a binder, it can hold 6 on each page. Sure it might get really bulky, but it is an idea in progress.

Young light house makes binders and certified coin pages. You can hold 9 slabs a page and I think the largest one has room for 54 slabs total. I have a few of them and I love them. Can easily see everything all at once. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...t=330&page=1 |

1. Get China to make better counterfeits. 2. Get China to make better fake slabs. 3. Find out how over 1 million collectors have a 1916D Mercury dime in their collections. 4. Have someone find a massive new vein of Silver so coin prices can go back to coin prices. 5. Have someone get a job with Whitman and fix all the prices in the Red Book. |

I didn't know they had those. I thought they did, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

biggest annoyance is using my mini ersatz-Leatherman needle nose pliers to manually flatten staples on my flips.

Or possilby send a letter to the manufacturers to make the flips out of soft material so the staples just sink in. Put all coins in those plastic flips. Hire a kid to flatten the staples. Pour liquid plastic over the 2x2's and allow to dry. Change hobbies to stamp collecting. Put all coins in jars, no flips to use staples on. |

I suppose the obvious solution is to get a better set of pliers, something that is more comfortable to use for a longer period of time. But of course, it would be nice if we did not have to do that at all. |

They have a stapler that flattens the staples automatically. I forgot what it is called though.

I'm frustrated with:
#1 the coin store that sells magnifying glasses that short out when you put in a new battery, and when you go back to tell them about it, they say they know about the problem and there is nothing that they can do about and then ask if you need a new magnifier.
(edit) found another coin shop
#2: Going to the local coin club meeting and buying $30 worth of raffle tickets only to find out that one member buys $80 of raffle tickets per meeting (88 tickets) and walks away with half of the 30 coins being raffled off.
(edit) just don't raffle tickets anymore and am now asked why I don't buy tickets and getting lectured on why I should.
