Have any of you coin collectors considered mental therapy? Yes. Insurance covered it.  |

Why? I love those dreams - my dream life at times is more exciting than my real one. I travel, eat well, spend money, do certain other things and find old coins.
Plus I am always like 18 or 20 years old in these dreams, not 45! They don't call them dreams for nothing.
Also why waste money on therapy, when you can spend it on coins. Therapy is very much an American thing anyway, us Kiwis are much more stoic and just man up over these things.

I had a coin dream last night but it wasn't about finding a rare coin - in the dream I'd acquired a huge framed map of the USA with holes on each state holding all 50 State Quarters. I put it up on the wall of my sitting-room. Funnily enough I actually do have a similar map of Canada with a set of 1992 Canadian quarters! |

I've had coin related dreams on multiple occasions, most of the time it's about a W quarter. Wish I could score one again, been two years since my last.

I've had coin-related dreams occasionally, but they were mostly variants of Princetane's version: coin shop (or place full of coin shops) with lots of weird coins. I think one time when I was actively searching for exotic denominations I had a dream where I found a web page about a series of rare 18th century coins that had denominations in several different systems at once and all of them were weird. Had one recently that was extra weird, but I don't recall most of the details. What I do recall involved some kind of strawberry-glazed Silver Eagles that were apparently tasty but still counted as silver? |

I am bumping this thread as I've had a dream in which I was one of a number of coin collectors invited to Buckingham Palace by King Charles III to help him choose the portrait for his coins. We sat in a circle around him while he passed us several different pattern UK 2 pence coins with various portraits on. One had a portrait like the 1969 Investiture medal on which he looked about 20, and one was a bit bizarre like the 1980s Dutch coins of Queen Beatrix. I found one which I liked, with a realistic mature portrait and told him which it was. I then wondered if anyone would notice if I slipped one of the coins into my pocket and took it home, as I realised they could become very valuable, but I decided against it as I was sure someone would notice it was missing!

Bumping this thread as last night I dreamed that I was at a Coin Fair. It was actually rather disappointing as most of the stalls were just selling modern proof sets from places like the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, and there were no trays of mixed coins to sort through. One dealer had some error coins in PCGS and NGC slabs, and one that caught my attention was a mule: it had the reverse of a Kennedy half dollar and the obverse of a Tonga 20 seniti like this... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20839.htmlUnfortunately it was priced at £10,000, so I didn't buy it! |

In my dream last night I was in some kind of public building and was trying to buy a candy bar from a vending machine but it malfunctioned and started spitting out hundreds of British pound coins. I grabbed a few but then an angry janitor came along with a big bucket and picked all of them up.

Not a coin dream but a couple of nights ago I dreamed I was in the USA and I withdrew some money from an ATM. One of the $20 bills had a portrait of Stevie Wonder on it!
