What a great story--and yes, congrats on both winnings, especially your wife. Coins are expendable, but not true, lifelong friends.  |

Reading the story I was sure you would end up giving half of those to your wife for an early Christmas Present. Not to late you know.

She knew what she was getting herself into when she handed you the ad. Sounds like you did pretty good, though. Any photos of the purchases? Favorite purchase?

My wife really pushed for me to go to the Houston Money Show last weekend. I drove the 3 hours there, was at the show for just over 3 hours and drove the 3 hours back to go to a holiday party. When I got home she asked how much I spent and when I told her she asked: "Is that all? I thought you would spend more." If it was not such a drive I would have turned around and went back.

I'm somewhat in the doghouse, because I 'blew' my coin budget on the 2008 American Buffalo Gold Proof Set.  Why I'm not totally in the doghouse: The family can see for themselves on ebay what the Fractional Buffalos are going for now....  |
