ObscureMint & Holden

Ever wondered why some people go mad over a single misprinted coin? I suspect there's a deeper psychological pattern behind that fixation.

They’re chasing a story that a coin can’t even finish. A misprint is the equivalent of a broken record that keeps repeating until the brain can’t help but write a paper about it. Some find comfort in the tiny narrative, others just love a neat anomaly. Either way, the real treasure is the obsession, not the coin.

You’re right, the coin is just a trigger. The real story is the mental loop it starts and the way it lets the mind fill in gaps—like a therapist who never asks the right question and ends up getting the whole diagnosis from a single word.

Sounds like a case of “coin‑flection,” if that’s a word. The little flaw is the hook, the rest is the collector’s mind doing the heavy lifting. It’s a tidy way to keep a story alive, even if the story is just a minting error.

Coin‑flection, huh. Flaw as bait, mind as the real collector. That’s the classic bait‑and‑switch of obsession.
