Poll: How often do you dream about coins?

I dream about coins at least once a week. They are usually ones that I can't afford, but sometimes
its more realistic.

    I have dreamed about coins a couple of times. Mostly about bags of lincolns for some reason. Maybe I'm poorer than I think? image

    Interesting question. I have never dreamt about coins as far as I can remember.

    Maybe I'm not committed enough or just not committed.image

    I spend a lot of waking time on coins but dream about other things! Keeps me out of trouble.

    I do from time to time. It's always the same dream. I'll happen upon a seemingly small cache of old coins and upon further investigation, it turns into a hoard of epic proportion (at least by my humble standards). I wake up momentarily exhilarated and then become saddened. Talk about a letdown. Time for a nap...

    I don't dream about coins, but I do dream about food quite a bit. I have this recurring one where I'm chowing down on a turkey platter sized dark chocolate Dove bar.image

    I have never dreamed about coins, but have lied awake at nights fantasizing about some lame scenario where I help out an old lady mow her lawn or do some handy man job around the house, with which she then opens up to me and says, "your such a nice man, why don't you take your pick of any old half dollars that my late Harold collected back years ago"

    I then follow her up to some musty old attic to see her open up a huge wooden chest (like those Ebay bulk wheat cent sellers always show) revealing thousands of original beautifully circulated fine or better Barber halves. She then says "I am ready to pass, and these have been cluttering up my attic for years. Would you take them off my hands?"

    Yes...Yes I would!!image

  • It's funny that I have the exact dream that crispy has. I hate waking up and feeling the deep disappointment.

    I don't dream about coins at night. However, I day-dream about coins during the day. Maybe that is why I can't get any work done.image
  • I dream about coins right after women the Red Sox winning the world series more women then coins I can't afford.

    Dream? Never. Think about them all the time. Right now I'm dream'in about buying my first 17?? coin.

    Probably once or twice a week for me. I used to dream about them more in my younger days. For some reason a few of my dreams have shifted to arrowheads and other native points. A crawlspace under a house, digging under the house for something, and the points just keep coming out of the ground. Perfectly shaped, preserved specimens by the hundreds. Don't ask, I can't explain it other than to say I have made my own points in the past.

    Thanks for making me laugh, I often have similar dreams, but feel both guilty and dissapointed afterwards.

    I dream about work when I'm asleep, and coins when I'm at work. There is something inheritantly wrong with this picture! image

  • Money is not a part of my dream world. Everything is free. Anyway, I am too busy running away from hidden monsters and too preoccupied with other things in my dreams to think about coins. image

    I once had a dream about being covered by Morgan Dollars up to my neck and my wife was beatting me over the head with a broom yelling take out the garbage.

    Perhaps that meant that your wife wanted you to upgrade your Morgans.

    Has anyone ever sketched their own design on paper. I dreamed once that one of my designs
    was selected for the Florida quarter.

  • I don't actually dream about coins.

    However, I have spent many nights having trouble getting to sleep - because my brain won't "turn off" thinking about coins.

    I experienced this often myself, especially on a night after a coin show.

    Even though it sounds like "It's a Wonderfull Life." I would have married that old gal and had my way with her! Woof, woof! image

    I then follow her up to some musky old attic

    Hey buddy, that wasn't the attic! LOL

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    You have not limits. I guess I would think about it, especially since they are all Barbers, they
    better be all halves for me to sink that low. lolimage

  • I haven't had many dreams about coins of late, but I have been having some weird dreams about being on the forum and communicating with people... hard to explain. I'm day dreaming about finding a beautifully toned 57-P Lincoln cent. But so far, it remains an elusive beast.

  • Never dreamed about coins yet! I keep having this darned dream that all of me teeth fall out though??

  • Often dream about coins.

    The other day a customer of mine was telling me how "Grandpa" used to cherry pick Morgans from original mint bags and set them aside for his grandchild. When Grandpa passed away his grandson (my customer) sorted all of these dollars and put them in his attic for his grandchildren. We discussed values and dates and he swore that there was a roll of uncirculated 93-S Morgans in his stash. My dream involved selling all of these in a coordinated blitz of travel from one large dealer to another before it was realized that this fresh material had hit the market and retiring on the commissions. The next day my customer admitted that although he has many uncirculated Morgans none are 93-S. Guess that I will just keep dreaming.
