When you see a manhole cover and you say to yourself "Cool die break!" This actually happened to me several years ago.

When you get annoyed when someone just starts using a coin star when you are leaving the store.
It's thirty 30 years ago and you're in a casino buying a hundred dollars worth of Kennedy halves breaking them open to find 40% or 90 % coins.
Then chasing the old biddy to get more off the cast , repeat, cash in, repeat. Never gambling either.
Not to mention the look she's giving u every 16 minutes
You know you're a Jefferson collector when family, friends & associates keep showing you some old circulated 50's or 60's Nickel they got in change and ask if it full steps and what they can get for it

You get excited when you find six corroded Lincoln cents that are stuck together in the CoinStar reject bin.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
When "S" Mint marks in your pocket change still excite you... just because...
When you look at mostly filled albums and want to upgrade existing coins before filling all the holes. And then you realize, you're never going to finish.

When I see the back of a Wheatie in a fountain and plan an adventure in how to retrieve it without getting in trouble (I always replace the found coin with another- post 1982 cent).
when you tell your wife to make sure to include something about your collecting in your obituary
Edit to add: Full Disclosure.....I did this
trying to get all i can and retire.
Honestly, I averaged one or two coins per roll not necessarily 90% but, quite a lot of 40%. The time was 33 years ago and most old Joners thought you had to have a 1964 to have any silver content. After awhile the finds just seemed to stop

My man! That's a nice looking sandwich.
