Well I ...think.... I did.
"Numismatunist."
This is a numismatist who may not STUDY everything about coins, but knows what they like and if an opporTUNITY to get something happens, they pounce on it.

Oh well. Back to the bonsai. B)

    Thought that was what they call a coin-collecting musician.

    Booooo.....

    Don't think I ain't gonna remember all this.

    And detractors will NOT share in the royalties when the numismatic community adopts "Numismatunist" in all their future publications. :#

    You could use this for music.

    So would it be safe to write that a misnumismatunist is one who may study coins and just misses the opportunity?

    Wasn't there a song about numismatunist in The Lion King?

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    Then I guess if it was a real hobby fanatic who just missed the opportunity, he would be a nutmisnumismatunist.

    And a YN could be termed a 'numismastudent'.....and one who dislikes coins a 'numismathrope'...or a deviant who gratifies him/herself with coins, has a 'numismagasm'.
    Wow... we are compiling a veritable numis dictionary. Cheers, RickO

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What about "numismastupid?" >:)

  • coinkatcoinkat Posts: 23,661 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not sure how missing an opportunity to buy a coin is dishonest...

    It's not any more dishonest than missing the point.

  • coinkatcoinkat Posts: 23,661 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Okay... My sincere apologies for missing the point here as well as the point there and the bull in between.

    So, you are the numismatunist that conned my Grandma out of the early half dime set she inherited? Sorry, I meant "coined"? Oops, hehe...my bad.

    Kidding of course- I knew what you meant. o:)

    I think that coin is worth 100 crooners.
