Pffff dates? I've never been on a date.

That rubber chicken is a liar!
I'll only be a minute in the coin shop then we can go to dinner.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
It’s not an obsession, it’s just a healthy hobby!
I told her that I really liked the ‘22-‘23 quarters.
No we’re not eating at McDonald’s, so I can save money to buy more coins.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Sorry I just autographed your dress but my real name is John Mercanti and I have a habit of signing everything.
"No, that is not a triple roll of Morgan dollars in my pocket!"
^^^ I knew someone would say it. ^^^
True story.
In the fall of 1979 my future wife won the "Prettiest girl in F HALL complex" contest. (Involved a sophisticated system of girl's pictures in the lobby and the number of check marks.)
Being super shy she would not come out of her dorm room and collect her prize. (A six pack, warm, of Buckhorn beer, a plastic daisy bouquet and a cheap tiara)
2 girls from my high school called me and told me to get her out. I am famously not shy.
After getting her out (long story), I took her out for pizza.
I asked her to tell me three important things I should know about her. Which she did.
She told me she came from a large Catholic family I would regret meeting. True.
She suffered a massive stroke when she was 16 and had just learned to walk again only a few months before.
She was a die hard Twins fan and didn't plan on changing.
Then she asked me the same.
I told her I had just a few months earlier turned down a full ride scholarship to go to Texas and become a Presbyterian minister. (Required a 10 year commitment to return to home church.)
I told her I too had a large annoying family and bet her my mother was crazier than hers. She won that bet.
I then told her I was going to business school because I was going to become a rare coin dealer.
She asked: "Have you ever known anyone who is a rare coin dealer?" "No."
"Do you know anyone now who is a rare coin dealer?" "No."
"Do you know how much money a rare coin dealer makes?" "I told her it probably varied, but no."
"She asked if I knew whether anyone was taking on new rare coin dealers?" "I said I didn't know if it worked that way."
Then she said, "I can't comment on becoming a minister but if I were you I wouldn't give up on praying just now."
It was a lie. I never became a rare coin dealer. James
Based on the comment you made about my fictitious Cat in the 17/3 CBH thread, this actually makes more sense now!

When telling date about your hobby: her: "What is this coin worth?" pulls out smashed parking lot quarter "Someone told me that it is a very rare error" You: "Why yes, it is quite rare" changes subject .

Me neither. My above comment is based on conjecture.

This is really good, deserves many more LOLs!
I would never sell my coins.

When we're out at dinner for the first time, I'm holding her hand across the table, looking deep into her eyes and say:
Can I see the change in your wallet?

Hey, I can still have a few flaws and be a full gem. 😈
Jimmy would tell his dates when a SR in college he was a coin dealer to impress / BS them (he had money).

We don't have to use the fine silver to have a good time.
My fiance and I first connected over our mutual love for history and coins. She has been an awesome supporter for the time I have invested in this hobby, both as a pasttime and part time career and she was the best supportive push in me getting my custom album line going.
Oh and I got her ring size by comparing a worn class ring next to a Lincoln cent.

Not said on a date, but I just hope that when I'm gone, she doesn't sell my coins for what I told her I paid for them.
I've been known to spend hours examining every detail... of coins, of course.
I don't get it.

Thanks @alaura22 That's what I was thinking but missed the haha.
A customer came into my shop looking for some rare coins. He looked at my stock and with a snort of derision he said that by looking in my showcases I was nothing more than a two-bit collector. I was so enraged that I thumped him over the head with a sack of quarters.

Creepy is the motif, guys.
Let's look at coins by candlelight, babe. ( let's be honest )
Creepy enough.
(While pointing) Is that pair real? I am referring to the gold coins on your necklace, of course!

I may look like I am listening to you but secretly I am thinking about coins!!!

I get the feeling a few of you guys have never been on a date.
