Anyone here ever dream about coins?

Petescorner

Last night I had a dream where I received a 1916 DDO Buffalo nickel in change at a convenience store. It was only in VG-F shape (a little more than half a horn) but the doubled date was very clear. The cashier knew nothing about it except that it was worth five cents.

Have I crossed the line from "coin collector" to some kind of "coin geek"? Am I obsessed? Have any of you ever literally dreamt about something to do with coins?

Must...go...to...coin...show...today...(Thank goodness there's a coin show in town today!)

No you're not a geek. I have nightmares about my mother buying coins from the American Historical Society. I keep telling her, if she wants silver dollars she should buy them from me! They'll be a whole lot cheaper and a whole lot nicer.

Not only are you a geek I think you've crossed the line to SUPER GEEK!!!!

I quit smoking a month ago and have had trouble sleeping. The other night I was on the computer in the middle of the night and my wife got up and sneeked behind me to see what I was doing. She thought she was going to catch me looking at pornography but what did she discover? I was looking at the on line PCGS population report. I guess I'm a super geek too!!

A couple days ago I had a dream that I setup all my coins for display in my large picture window in my living room. I woke up in a start thinking that now everyone knows where the loot is, it was an odd feeling dream, I wouldn't call it a nightmare, but it wasn't a comfortable feeling.

Okay, geek alert!

Holy geekers. Last night I had a coin dream too. I was bringing a bag full of coins to a show and had stopped off at a relative's house. When I went to pick up my bag to leave I noticed it had been moved and sure enough,
the contents was empty. I'll leave out the expletive deleteds that ensued.

I quit smoking about three years ago. And one thing I remember that really surprized me were the incredible vivid dreams I started to have because I was using "The Patch." It even says so on the box of the things that it can cause "heightened dreaming." Weird, I almost feel like slapping a couple on before bed these days, it was like an E ticket at Disneyland. Didn't dream about coins, but then I'm not a super geek like Petescorner is. Man, what a geek! I do however, dream in limericks.

last night i dreamed i was riding in a car and blowing soap bubbles from one of those kid things in the bottle, all the bubbles were turning into SAE's and i could not stop the car to pick them up (aaaaagh nooooo brakes).
i woke up sweating had to check on my SAE collection.
now i am a geek still.

Over the line? You're so far over the line it's blended into the horizon.

In 1982 I was crossing the road in front of my bank with a bag of brand new Philly quarters.
When I got half way across I remembered a dream that a bag of quarters split open as I was
crossing the street in front of my bank. I was so startled I nearly dropped them.

Who hasn't had a dream of coins???

KINCOIN

I have had this dream numerous times. It goes like this. I am walking along and I look down and see this quarter. I pick it up and beneath it there is another quarter. Next thing that happens my pockets are full of quarters and the hole is just getting deeper and deeper. Then a little later there is a mound of quarters next to me because my pockets were overflowing with quarters. The next thing I know I am still digging up quarters and I am half way to China.Then I wake up and become disappointed because it was so realistic.

KINGCOIN KING OF COINS

I dreamed recently that someone gave me a giant Ike dollar. It was as big as a pizza (you know, life size! ) It is funny, cuz Ikes are coins my dad didn't have a lot of (comparatively)!

Hey Clankeye,
Did the patch for two weeks and did have some strange vivid dreams. Had one dream where I took all my coins, put them on the floor and rolled around in them. Wait a second, I think that really happened.

Thanks for all the support on the smoking thing. I've quit before but I think this time it's for good.

Never had a dream about coins, but I do have a fantasy about them...laying in bed on a pile of a few thousand double eagles! That would be awesome....

Constant flashing visions of the series I am currently studying is the nightly norm. I don't mind as long as it doesn't follow the theme music to Gilligan's Island.

Lucy had a dream that she had the #1 Franklin set in the registry, then I woke up and realized I am still stuck at 69!

Ray, your the oddball while the rest of us are in coinsville heaven. LOL

Seriously, dream of coins? No, I just blackout until I wake up again.

I often dream about coins, but my dreams generally center around actual time travel back to other periods of time to purchase coins at face value.

One particular dream was rather involving, I went back to 1909 to get a couple of rolls of the S VDB cents, and when I got there I found out I was in Atlanta, so I had to find my wayacross the country to San Francisco to get the new coins. It was summer (they started minting them August 2), and I had to hitch the rails, rides, beg, borrow,and steal to make my way cross-country. When I finally arrived in San Francisco I found that they had already stopped minting the VDB style cents (something about venerial disease) so I went to the banks and coin shops looking to assemble a roll. I woke up after having filled half of a plastic tube (who says all dreams are accurate) with shiny new VDB cents!

Of course I had the same disappointment as most would that the dream wasn't real. BTW, I thought of everything before embarking on my trip back in time - I stopped by the local dealer and bought a pocket full of circ Morgans to use when I was back there. Seems having a pocket full of series 2001 notes would have been a bit too out of place, and circ Morgans were the cheapest thing to get that had the highest face value...better than buying rolls of circ Barber quarters.

I dreamt about finding some nice George V coins for my Canada type set, but the dream was over a month ago and I forgot the details.

I usually dream about Rita Hayworth in her prime, which is a strange kind
of dream for a bear.

I honestly can't say that I ever stop thinking about coins. I seldom remember my dreams, but I do recall once I dreamt that I was getting robbed (of my coins). I don't remember the details anymore, but I awoke with a horrible sweat and just had to hug my dog.

My obsession with coins is pretty bad. Whenever I meet a new lady, one of the things I do right away is to find out her interests. I do this not just to be polite or sociable, but in the hopes that she'll ask me what my interests are: COINS!!!

At night -- even very late at night that it's really morning -- I'll toss and turn thinking about a special coin or whatever that I have to get up and pull out old auction catalogs!

Before I go to bed, I'll frequently look at my spreadsheet and visualize each and every coin...

I usually have a couple of coins just lying around my place. I am always looking at them, holding them, kissing them, stroking them and ... oops! I dropped one of them!

PS I never stop thinking about coins. Did I already say that?!?
