My husband and I decided to start a collection together. In the past he's collected things I'm not intereted in. We'll retire in the next 15 - 20 years and wanted to find something we both enjoy that we could do together. This seems to fit our requirements and we've had a lot of fun finding and buying a few things so far. We've been looking for some coin shows - I don't think we're going to find any until spring. They are hard to find - are there not many shows in the midwest?

I'm glad you're wife found a proof in circulation! I hope she becomes more interested and it's something you can both enjoy and do together!

Although not the most complete listing, you can start here... Coin Shows.

Once you do find a show to attend, be on the lookout for flyers advertising other shows in your area or region. They usually have them on the front table where you sign in.

Since I started my wife has been my main source of coins. She works at a check cashing store and people bring in old money all the time. She used to get angry when someone would bring in 20 dollars in quarters but now she just throws a twenty in the register and brings home the coins for me to sift through. She's always overjoyed to find a Wheat penny though :)

Some wives are just happy that their fellas are not wasting their money on booze or gambling, or worse, drugs.


This needs more love.

My wife gives me a roll of the eyes when I come in with a little bag of silver or a few boxes of pennies to hunt. But she knows I could be up to something a lot worse.

My wife gets it, so I am one of the lucky ones. She has her own infatuations, so we are a good match.
