Poll: How often do you dream about coins?

wingedliberty · October 29, 2002 8:59PM

I dream about coins at least once a week. They are usually ones that I can't afford, but sometimes
its more realistic.

I have dreamed about coins a couple of times. Mostly about bags of lincolns for some reason. Maybe I'm poorer than I think?

UncleJoe · October 29, 2002 10:43PM

Interesting question. I have never dreamt about coins as far as I can remember.

Maybe I'm not committed enough or just not committed.

Occasionally, not too often but when I do I usually wish it were true cuz I dream about the biggies.

MacCoin · October 29, 2002 11:10PM

I don't rember my dreams

Trime · October 29, 2002 11:43PM

I spend a lot of waking time on coins but dream about other things! Keeps me out of trouble.

crispy · October 29, 2002 11:44PM

I do from time to time. It's always the same dream. I'll happen upon a seemingly small cache of old coins and upon further investigation, it turns into a hoard of epic proportion (at least by my humble standards). I wake up momentarily exhilarated and then become saddened. Talk about a letdown. Time for a nap...

Whitewashqtr · October 30, 2002 12:34AM

My coin dreams always end up with me obtaining the coin I want!!! With prestigious awards and ceremonies.

I spend part of my day on coins and other collectibles, but I cant say I remember dreaming about them- unless you count DAYdreaming, lol.

Yeah, do waking dreams count?

Russ · October 30, 2002 1:41AM

I don't dream about coins, but I do dream about food quite a bit. I have this recurring one where I'm chowing down on a turkey platter sized dark chocolate Dove bar.

I have never dreamed about coins, but have lied awake at nights fantasizing about some lame scenario where I help out an old lady mow her lawn or do some handy man job around the house, with which she then opens up to me and says, "your such a nice man, why don't you take your pick of any old half dollars that my late Harold collected back years ago"

I then follow her up to some musty old attic to see her open up a huge wooden chest (like those Ebay bulk wheat cent sellers always show) revealing thousands of original beautifully circulated fine or better Barber halves. She then says "I am ready to pass, and these have been cluttering up my attic for years. Would you take them off my hands?"

Yes...Yes I would!!

It's funny that I have the exact dream that crispy has. I hate waking up and feeling the deep disappointment.

Geoman · October 30, 2002 6:58AM

I don't dream about coins at night. However, I day-dream about coins during the day. Maybe that is why I can't get any work done.

mercurynut · October 30, 2002 7:07AM

I dream about coins right after women the Red Sox winning the world series more women then coins I can't afford.

09sVDB · October 30, 2002 8:26AM

Dream? Never. Think about them all the time. Right now I'm dream'in about buying my first 17?? coin.

coppercoins · October 30, 2002 9:09AM

Probably once or twice a week for me. I used to dream about them more in my younger days. For some reason a few of my dreams have shifted to arrowheads and other native points. A crawlspace under a house, digging under the house for something, and the points just keep coming out of the ground. Perfectly shaped, preserved specimens by the hundreds. Don't ask, I can't explain it other than to say I have made my own points in the past.

Thanks for making me laugh, I often have similar dreams, but feel both guilty and dissapointed afterwards.

I dream about work when I'm asleep, and coins when I'm at work. There is something inheritantly wrong with this picture!

gemseeker · October 31, 2002 3:21PM

Money is not a part of my dream world. Everything is free. Anyway, I am too busy running away from hidden monsters and too preoccupied with other things in my dreams to think about coins.

DCAMFranklin · October 31, 2002 3:30PM

Expand your horizons and take up some additional hobbies! It might be time for the couch.

MrKelso · October 31, 2002 8:11PM

I once had a dream about being covered by Morgan Dollars up to my neck and my wife was beatting me over the head with a broom yelling take out the garbage.

wingedliberty · October 31, 2002 8:38PM

Perhaps that meant that your wife wanted you to upgrade your Morgans.

Has anyone ever sketched their own design on paper. I dreamed once that one of my designs
was selected for the Florida quarter.

ursabear · November 2, 2002 9:13AM

I don't actually dream about coins.

However, I have spent many nights having trouble getting to sleep - because my brain won't "turn off" thinking about coins.

wingedliberty · November 2, 2002 9:19AM

I experienced this often myself, especially on a night after a coin show.

Brian.

KlectorKid · November 2, 2002 9:30AM

i dremed i found an MS-69 DMPL on the side walk.. the strange thing was it was a Flowing hair dollar

wingedliberty · November 2, 2002 9:33AM

I wish I found the coin in your scan on the sidewalk!!

Even though it sounds like "It's a Wonderfull Life." I would have married that old gal and had my way with her! Woof, woof!

Leo

I then follow her up to some musky old attic

Hey buddy, that wasn't the attic! LOL

wingedliberty · November 4, 2002 7:08AM

You have not limits. I guess I would think about it, especially since they are all Barbers, they
better be all halves for me to sink that low. lol

Brian..

Clankeye · November 4, 2002 7:21AM

I haven't had many dreams about coins of late, but I have been having some weird dreams about being on the forum and communicating with people... hard to explain. I'm day dreaming about finding a beautifully toned 57-P Lincoln cent. But so far, it remains an elusive beast.

bigbadchad777 · November 4, 2002 11:18AM

Never dreamed about coins yet! I keep having this darned dream that all of me teeth fall out though??

Mrpawn · November 4, 2002 12:15PM

Often dream about coins.

The other day a customer of mine was telling me how "Grandpa" used to cherry pick Morgans from original mint bags and set them aside for his grandchild. When Grandpa passed away his grandson (my customer) sorted all of these dollars and put them in his attic for his grandchildren. We discussed values and dates and he swore that there was a roll of uncirculated 93-S Morgans in his stash. My dream involved selling all of these in a coordinated blitz of travel from one large dealer to another before it was realized that this fresh material had hit the market and retiring on the commissions. The next day my customer admitted that although he has many uncirculated Morgans none are 93-S. Guess that I will just keep dreaming.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
