MSN loads up and the first thing you think of is that MS coin you saw, or the one you just got

Feel free to include all stories of coin-obsession related happenings!

every time I go to sleep I look at my cable vision box that shows time, I always look at the last two digits and when ever I see a date I think of a coin with the same year. Sick isn't it?

You get three Buffalo nickels:

1913-D T1 NCG XF40
1938-D PCGS MS64
1935(P)'Raw' VF Full Horn, Full Date

You're happiest about the 1935 because you found it in a roll!

Your amount for an cash transaction is a few pennies over an even dollar and when the clerk reaches for the extra pennies you refuse so you can get an assortment of change back.

When you go to a museum to see a an exhibition of Roman marble busts and see the detail of the hair well defined and automatically think "This one is uncirculated." (This one actually happened to me haha)

I have had several coin dreams, and I feel exactly as I would if it were real! But then my alarm wakes me up and the 200 year old XF coins aren't in my pocket anymore...

Now that I've seen all these neat coins here, I'll probably have a dream that I find some Morgan dollars, or standing Liberties

Hush, you. I have an excuse. Why do you think I became a Moderator here?

....when you go back through two years of photo archives and discover that, out of 3500 shots you've taken, 3350 are of coins. When you discover that you've owned a camera for a year and it hasn't been outside your house yet. When the macro lens you use cost more than the camera did.

When, during the process of negotiating a divorce, you draw a line in the sand in front of your coins.
