I don't know if this has been brought up yet on the forums, but I've been thinking of some things I do, or I've seen done that proves that we have become obsessed with the hobby. I'll update the list as I think of more and please feel free to add your own:
You know you're a coin collector when you look at metal things around the house for PL or DMPL surfaces.

That is hilarious
When you eyes hurt from squinting, your shirt is covered with mustard stains, and you hands smell like dirty metal.
....you pass up a pop 1/0 coin for another coin in a grade lower because you know it's the better coin.

...when everybody you know has already shown you their / their father's / their friend's box of old coins.
