Anybody knows the definition of a COINAHOLIC?

ER

Is it one who would get into withdrawal if they go without looking at their coins everyday?
Is it one who cares about nothing but the coins?
Is it one who spends more than 50, 60, 70% of their times in coin activities?
Are all coin dealers coinaholics?

hello, my name is jason and I am a coinaholic

Admitting you are a coinaholic is the first step to recovery and a normal life...........

And just like gambling, it can drive you to finiancial ruin!

ER

You know you're a coinaholic when you have an ebay feedback rating of over 500 (coin transactions, that is).

You know you are a coinaholic when:

1)Your wife catches you on the computer in the middle of the night and you are looking at population reports and not porn.

2)Your wife goes out of town and all you can think is ,"Great, I get to work on my coins all night without anyone bothering me!!"

3)If you get excited when someone says something like, "I cracked a pq 1884-CC Morgan out of an NGC MS64PL holder, walked it through, and it graded out an MS-65 DMPL at PCGS."

Mike,
This IS how I can cure you. Tomorrow, send me one coin, the next day 2 coins, day after 3 coins, and so and so on.
Once your inventory runs out, you are CURED!

ccrdragon

Darn it - ER beat me too it!

I was going to say that the only cure would be for you to send ME all of your coins!

I am an avowed coinaholic and I don't have a problem with it!!!!!

baccaruda

somehow I doubt Coinaholics would give you a coin to carry around though - probably a fifth of vodka instead.

It's someone who spends a lot of money on fixing up the house, sells a bunch of morgan dollars to help pay for it, and ends up spending most of that on getting new coins. Although I'm happy to say I'm probably saving about 30% of what I sold. Now if they would just GET HERE.

And I'm going to the Knoxville coin show tomorrow so the addiction continues.

Hello. My name is Glenn. I am a coinaholic. I look at my coins just about every day. I carry a 10X magnifier everywhere I go. I have been known to snatch coins from friends hands to see what they might have that is rare. I bug cashiers on the rolls in registers. I have looked over the backs of other customers in line to see what coins they have in their hands. I have spent hours changing quarters in a coin changer trying to get old nickels. Then putting the nickels the Coke machine to get the quarters back. I spend hours everyday looking to get cheap but good coins off Ebay everyday. I have been known to wrestle with collection plate in church. I am a Coinaholic.

Mike, buddy, i will be glad to help you recover.

Let me take some of those coins off your hands and you will be on the road to recovery. No, it's better if no money is involved so you can make a clean break!!! Les

You know you're a Coinaholic when you can't stop buying that next coin even though you already own several like it, or you don't normally collect that series.

1jester

Rent? Food? Clothes? Insurance?

Who needs that stuff? It surely can wait..................

I just need one more COIN.................................!!!

Does bidding in so many auctions that you don't remember until you get a winner notification count. If so then I'm probably a coinaholic. I just received a winner notification today for the Kingswood Auction that I completely forgot about.
