    You know you're addicted when you find yourself looking (seriously) through your pocket change.

    And actually find something of interest (nowadays) image

    when you work th 10am - 10pm shift. 2am is bed time. and there are only 2 things online worth doing at 2am, which help you sleep. coins are one of them.

    coin-addiction is when you have to examine every coin you encounter -- mercilessly grading -- people see you staring at the change in your hand wondering if you have alzheimers or something...

    I just got back from a 3 mile run because I was bored and it seemed like the cool thing to do at the time; BAD IDEA when you're so tired image


    BUT, yeah coins are cool when you're super tired and don't feel like sleep.

    ...when family vacations are timed and located with coin shows.
    ...when the pocket change you spend first are those coins you specifically know would BB at PCGS.
    ...when you reach into your pocket to get your keys and grab a loupe much of the time.
    ...when you spend less time preparing and eating meals each day than working out your eBay bids.
    ...if your browser home page or desktop wallpaper (or worse...both) are coin-related.
    ...if you have ever postponed sex to snipe a coin auction.

    It started off with a single coin so many years ago. I do not know where all the time went . It all seemed so sudden. But from that first coin I knew I was in trouble image. Then the inevitable happened. My addiction to these coins became uncontrollable. No longer would one coin do anymore. I needed more and more. Sometimes I would forget what show I'd been to, or where I had aquired certain coins , I think they called it a "coinout" image. Go to a coin show in San Diego and wake up with a double row box of Indian Cents in Miami. Where'd these come from? How'd I get here? That was so many years ago.

    Then found myself in Dallas, will work for coins image Traversing the country whenever I could finally finding my way back to Florida, occasionally waking in the middle of the night, still in a twilight sleep shouting out "that's my merc dime, mine! " and the rest is history.

    You also know you're addicted to coins when you peer into the tip jar on the counter at Dunkin Donuts, ready to make an offer for any obvious cherrypick that might be peering back at you.
