Is your best friend a coin collector? How many of your top 3 friends collect coins?- Poll with all

TexasNationals

Okay, spouses aside, even if they are your best friend, the next best friend you have, do they collect coins? How many of your top 3 best friends (spouses excluded) collect coins? Did you meet any of your best friends through collecting? Here? Clubs? Shows, internet-other? Just curious if we travel and hang in packs or not.

My best friend does NOT collect coins, but he does collect guns and cards.

My second best friend DOES collect coins and met him through a dealer who gave me his number as I started to collect paper money.

My third best friend DOES collect coin and I met him HERE as we collected the same series.

Curious- Texas

None of my (top) real life friends collect coins, or even currency. One collects comicbooks, though he's not into the investment aspect like I am. It's damn lonely, honestly.

Well like they say,"Its lonely at the top."

I had one very close freind, he was like a brother to me, he had the passion like I have.
He didn't make much money the last 5 years of his life as he was hurt on his job and suffered from anxiety and depression after that.

He was into moderns so I would buy him proof sets and some graded silver proofs DCAM's.
But we would spend hours sometimes 3 times a week going over my tokens and toners.
He originally only liked blast white coins but he started to really like the toned Morgans and other coins so I bought him a
Toned Birthyear set........he smiled for weeks as we sat in the backyard drinking coffee.

This October will be three years since he past away........I miss him and the great times we had

My best friend collects guitars and coins
My other two best friends collect Colt 1911's like me :-)

My wife loves all 3, coins, guns and guitars.

But, MOST of my friends collect hotsauce :-) ........( yes, there are rabid hot sauce collectors out there )

No, none of my friends collect coins. I don't even personally know anyone around my area that collects coins but I am sure they are.

This is an intresting thread, becuase before I opened my shop, I had a few freinds and neither of them collected. Once opening the shop and after several years have gone by, I met a few new freinds, and the closet 4 of them all collect coins/ and or PM's.

I'm lucky to have 1 friend that just started into bullion. Coins and such, forget it. I think maybe 2 that I know of out of all of my acquantances.

I have one close friend from college who collects coins. We're so similar in so many ways that he should really be scared.

My collecting habits are a deep dark secret except for my wife and kids. Call me paranoid. So they may collect but i doubt it. And in fact, i think they would ridicule me to no end.

Truth be told I've made several new friends that I met through collecting coins and from this board. For that I'm grateful.
