Do you suffer from Numismatic Coincidential-itis the way i do??

keets

Symptoms of this non-fatal yet slightly annoying affliction are an apparent over sensitivity to Numismatic related terminology or number sequences. For instance, you might be non-chalantly driving down the road and you notice the car in front of has a plate number of VPH 1909 and you smile!!! It happens to me all too frequently.

Anyway, what brought this thread on is the NBA controversy. I was at work and heard them talking about it and had to stop-----the Team Owner is named Sterling and the League Commissioner is named Silver. It makes me nuts and I can't stop smiling whenever it comes on the TV or radio. My querry to the forum is simple, how can I be cured?? Can I be cured?? Will this haunt me for the rest of my days, like the heartbreak of psoriasis?? Help me if you can.

I like finding errors (not on coins) in the manufacturing process ...

There are all sorts of products that have packaging errors and manufacturing errors.

These errors make me smile and think, of course there are mint errors on coins because it just happens .....

There's bound to be a twelve step program for your affliction. Numismatics Anonymous?

Move to Colorado Keets.
Then you won't g.a.s.

Keets...you are doomed to live with this affliction.... much like OCD, you can be counseled, but not cured. Cheers, RickO

I don't have the affliction as bad as Keets, but I do have a milder case. Edited to add: I think it is not curable.

Had to snap this picture on the Ohio Turnpike a couple years back....

Since reading this thread, I was on my way home and saw "VDB", but took another look and it was "VD8". I had to laugh thinking of this thread.

keets

hey Conrad, I live in NEOhio about 10 miles from the Turnpike, I'll have to watch for that car!!

ChangeInHistory

I have it to a certain degree, coin laudries are good for a quick adrenaline rush.

I did see a license plate the other day 535 DMPL

ArizonaJack

Guilty but no examples. Do have a guitar example.......The current running John Deere home mower commercial opens up with street sign "Clapton Drive"...... book example.......license plate "GON GALT"........

I came up with a joke earlier today just like your post.

What do you get when you cross the owner of the LA Clippers with the NBA commissioner? Sterling Silver!

ColonelJessup

I know a dealer whose license plate is AT 67. Not a coin-incidence. . . .

On advise of counsel, she can say nothing, but not only does Laurie have his number, she knows where he lives. . . .

ambro51

On the way to my lumberyard I pass a series of cross streets. The signs. ....Washington street. Jefferson street Lincoln street Roosevelt street.... And also Shafter street (after the span am war general I suppose)

BAJJERFAN

Saw a license plate today with CBH on it.

cladking

It's incurable. What we do and think about rewires the brain.

I don't think of it as an affliction but an opportunity to exercise and test the new wiring.

I had my numismatits surgically removed and slabbed years ago. It grew back improper rinse.

Okay, cool, it's good to know I'm not the only one who does that!

TwoSides2aCoin

Was just avoiding business and minding my pleasure on Facebook when a g/friend who has very limited knowledge of numismatics posted one of them puzzle /word games.
And I don't believe in coincidence…. as COINcidental-itis is concerned, although for entertainment purposes, I share.

LotsoLuck

I associate the last four digits of phone numbers with coin dates when possible.

Keets,

Perhaps you are encouraging mental instability amongst the numismatic community. I am now, at this post's suggestion, thinking about assigning numismatic grades to my car (MS XF67) and also to old girl friends (MS AU58), and to current girlfriend (PF70). But if you don't holder the PF70 girlfriend, she will be lucky to be a VF35 in a few years.

Encouraging mental instability caused the mass exodus, here.

Please, tell us more about your numismatits, and how they were removed.

I'd say there should be a 12 step program for this but we would associate that with grading.

You start at P-01 and graduate at F-12.

There used to be "School" just before a crosswalk in Auburn that always made me think of a 55/55 Lincoln since the lettering was doubled. I should have taken a photo but unfortunately, I never had my camera with me.

I believe we may have a pandemic on our hands!!

Yes, it does seem to be a pan-pac demic. I mean a pandemic.
