Numismatic things that frustrate me....

LincolnCentMan

10) TV coin sales.
9) Sellers that make money off of shipping.
8) Not enough local collecting buddies to share the fun with.
7) Cruddy pics of coins I'm intersted in buying.
6) Filling the need to and storing my "best" coins at the bank.
5) DNC
4) Ebay sellers that key-word spam in their auction titles.
3) Getting to the end of my estimated 45 day wait for my submission to see it's been extended to 65 days.
2) Looking for a coin for a long time only to find it at an in-opportune financial moment.

...and the number one thing in numismatics that I find frustrating.......

1) Sites that have "auctions" of old inventory in their "new ups" section.

EBAY Grading!

actually*** "2) Looking for a coin for a long time only to find it was graded by PCGS 3 years ago and is really a full grade lower than today's standards.

or 2) Buying a coin I have been looking for a long time to find and discovering it was graded under different grading standards.

EBAY Grading!

I'll go along with that.... and generalize it to bad grading by ANY coin seller- to me it says that the seller is either unethical or ignorant...
