How do you know when you’re spending too much time with your coins?
I just guiltily explained to my dog that “yes, I know I’ve been playing with these coins all day, but I think I’ve finally figured out how to turn them into bacon!” I don’t think he bought it, but it was worth a try.

On a day when I look at my coins, while eating dinner, while watching tv, while doing my Homework, and while taking a shower.
My eyes never stop starting at those beautiful coins 🤤😍😍😍😵😵
Oops I did I say take showers with my coins, I don’t do that, that would be pure madness 😂

I avoid that by helping in the shed doing wood refinishing with the Mrs along with lawn and garden work. I get the Lincolns out for inspection around every six months.

I have several other interests which require portions of my time, so I allocate my days and hours. Not strictly to the minute, and it can vary depending on needs of the various interests. Keeps me active, mentally and physically. Cheers, RickO

Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.7 -
