    ... your pocket change coins are stored individually in safe flips and each coin has been graded.

    ... you can recall, in a Pavlovian manner, the weights and alloys of all circulating coins but forget your wedding anniversary if it falls on the day of a Teletrade auction.

    ... someone says that you are a "certified" nutcase for spending so much time looking at coins and you wonder if he meant certified like PCGS or NGC (or ACG!).

    ... you pleasure yourself to DVR playbacks of Coin Vault.

    ... you not only are aware but it bothers you that Lincoln faces the same direction on the cent as the non-presidents: Franklin, Susan B, and that Indian on the Buffalo nickel.

    ... YOU SUCK more than a quadrapelegic bride on her wedding night.

    Someone asks you what have you read lately, and you reply "The Robert Michael Prescott Collection auction catalog by American Numismatic Rarities"

    or

    When a co-worker asks "how was your evening?", and you start bragging about spotting that 1963 Quarter in the cash register at Walmart.

    If the total amount of posts you have made to this forum totals more than 10 a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, not only are you a coin collector but you may well need help. (mental type)

    ... you start rummaging through the tips box at Starbucks. Of course everything you take out you replace at face value, but until then the baristas are giving you the evil eye!

    When you're ecstatic that your kid comes home with a 70 on his mid-term test - then realized that a 70 is perfect only in OUR world!!!

    You go to a singles bar and rate the older patrons as heavily circulated..
