I’m jealous. Haven’t had that many coins to look through and add to my collection in quite some time.

I've been going through a 20 pound bulk buy (about 9 kilos) lately, sipping on a bit of bourbon.

​Suitably fermented I trust?
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

​they are, but they have one major flaw... you cannot write anything on them ( I even tried metallic ink), and the surface is kind of glossy, so for an oily skin like me finger prints everywhere

​A bit harsh really.

The phrase "to each their own" springs to mind. My dad is a train enthusiast and tried to get us into them as kids, so I probably know more about trains than most people, I just don't find them interesting. I'm guessing it's the same with coins. Neither of my boys seem interested in coins.

​I have black inserts in my mylar flips and I found that a liquid ink white pen on them works well....you just have to write carefully and then leave them alone for about 10 minutes to make sure the ink is completely dry and won't smudge. The pen is similar to this one

There are also sharpie and other brands that have pens that have white ink.
Just google white sharpie and they come up. Even a fine tip.

So, based on the majority of opinions here, Numismatics IS boring, unless you get drunk.

Am I right?

​If one has to get drunk to enjoy numismatics, maybe they're better off doing philately instead.

​I dont think so... I was having a blast upgrading coins, doing research in a very confortable place. A glass of wine or any drink its a plus... getting drunk is a complete different thing, perhaps you have heard or witness drinking till drop?

There's a big difference between getting drunk and enjoying a nice glass of red.
