Yah, too true K-Ken => I have limited game as it is ... I can only imagine what she'd say when I returned back to Thompson with a gunny-sack stuffed full of shady 1967 quarters and half a dozen cases of empty beer bottles ...
=> "It's all for you honey ... it's all for yoos"

There's no one locally I know of that collects, so I have my CCF friends.

You blokes at CCF are my coin buddies.
All my mates think I am mad spending hundreds of dollars on coins,But then again I think they are stupid blowing hudreds of dollars at the TAB.
At least I have a decent collection of great Aussie coins and a few good Pommy ones as well to show for my efforts

A few co-workers know I collect coins, but not how large a collection. One of them gave me a few coins and planchets, and I gave her a coin about Elvis (she is a big fan). A few relatives know I collect. And I think a few on here suspect that I collect coins.  |

I have neighbors that go to the same bars about 3 to 6 times a week. They sit there for hours and regardless of what or how you drink, that is a lot of money. And when that saying about down the drain is mentioned, that is so true. I've always thought of what it would be like to have what people like that blow in a bar to buy coins with. |

I have one but he owes me 320.00 dollars. He was a flea dealer and he stoped selling a few years ago. So I dont really see him that much anymore. We still talk and I need to visit him and decrease my store credit. LOL

I have really opened up to everyone about me being a collector, but namely collecting small things like copper pennies, wheats, etc. I have surprisingly found that way more people at my job actually collect coins than I had imagined.

Every night, there are guys who will spend the entire night at the bar, and brag about closing the bar. And then there are the ones that spend their entire check, and per diem every week on whatever the drug of the day is. I never got into the drug scene, and have never liked the taste of alcohol. I need to have somewhere to spend my booze money on, right? |
