I was searching the forum and found this old topic. Just in case you haven't found it yet, it's a hoot and might just make you feel a little less crazy!

And yes, I identify with many of the comments.

Yes ,lets start a new one . I know I'm an addict when I say to myself ''that's enough''. Then the next day I'm searching through E-Bay to buy more coins .

Well I enjoyed that old thread. I had a couple posts in it back then when I went by "Wheezy" on CCF.

I know I'm addicted because ...
Yesterday I went to buy a new set of tires for my boat trailer that goes along with the boat I sold.

I thought to myself that the ones that came off graded
G-6 Details
and
VG-8 Details with damage to edges.

You are an addict when you immediately regret selling the coins you no longer needed for the final hole fillers in your type set!

When you lean over to take a peek into a cashier's register looking for a silver coin and she closes it quickly thinking you are going to raid it.

Better yet you tell her why did you close the draw, I wasn't done looking yet.

Hi, my name is parklane64 and I am a coin addict.

You know you are an addict when you are broke and scratching for $10 to make a coin deal. Then money comes in the mail - SCORE!

You know you are an addict when you go out late at night with a metal detector and by sunrise, your neighbors yard looks like this.
