Richard you just flash a few bucks in front of the spouses, when the collector is NOT at home, and your problem should be solved!!! I am fortunate that my wife collects and knows whats going on but a great number of collectors have spouses who just don't understand so there is where you make your coin snatching attack, so to speak!!! I have a buddy who's wife absolutely didn't have a clue about coins and for years relayed the sediment that we are all nuts! (me included) Recently my friend decided to sell a few of his items off to raise money for a family project so she decided to tag along to the coin dealer for the fun of it. Quite honestly she went along to really drop the hammer on him for wasting his time, effort and money on such stupid endeavors! After selling off a few items and returning to the car she was STUNNED beyond belief when he said the dealer didn't buy everything but still managed to purchase $2,200.00 worth of coins!!! Now my buddy is concerned that his wife is so interested in the hobby that she may decide to sell off a few coins (of his) should SHE ever feel the need. Ended one monster and created another!!!

Does anyone else have the problem of your wife getting up and leaving you when you sit down with a bucket of coins? 
Yass - my Misses can't understand why I collect them and don't spend them. any time I sort grade or catalogue - she is off like a shot.
Maybe she is out looking for rabbits.
I can't knock her- she always manages to come up with coins for me on special occasions like birthdays and fathers day-
Maybe I need a few more birthdays each year.

My wife collects almost the same countries and coins that I do so I consider myself blessed but do know better than to bring home a bucket of coins as she would probably take them away from me!!!

[ We havent forgotten you on this one Snooba , amazingly these rabbits dont want to come and frequent Melbourne. I have only found 1 and a fellow collector has found 3 . I know our mate up near the ATC is doing much better. [/quote] Down on the NSW and VIC border we are getting lots of 2006 MOR but still none with errors or rabbit ears. And believe me Ive looked through a 'few' pokies . Let us know if you find some rabbit ears.

[/quote] We went through just shy off 6000 this morning came across loads of 2006 MOR but again no rabbits, found a few NCLT and an upset. But our best find came at the supermarket when we received a roll of 2007 APEC $1 Coins.

That is very kind of you craig_vt, thank you very much for still keeping me in mind. I must say that I'm amazed you can find the patience and energy to sort through six-thousand coins in one morning! Well done.
