coinmap Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 8:04 pm Not being the very sociable type, and seeing as I travel for business (a lot!), it has been pretty hard to meet someone, and stay in a relationship. It came down at one point to being either my girlfriend, at the time, or that shiny xf 1916-D Merc dime.... You should see my completed Mercury dime set Report this Post to the Staff
stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 9:49 pm ahaha => good one, coin map! My wife has her own crafty-hobbies, so I don't get in "too much" trouble if I buy some nice coins (however, I must admit that I occasionally down-play some of my big-league purchases!) I've never really tested her shock-reaction, but I'm guessing that she'd probably raise an eyebrow knowing I dropped 7K on half a dozen items last weekend!? (thank God we don't have kids, so we keep our cash in separate piles!) => but who knows, maybe that cute smile that she has on her face means that she has just spent $8K on her stained-glass supplies!? ..... oh well, it's all good ...

spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 3:21 pm I kid of like that my wife isn't really into coins. It gives me something to do as a hobby for myself (and my dad somewhat shares the hobby). I enjoy doing some hobbies and activities with my wife, but it is nice to have it to myself so to speak, plus she won't cut into the coin allowance :) Edited by spaceace 03/01/2012 3:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 4:44 pm We upgraded our home entertainment system a few months ago. If my wife cared about coin collecting as much as I do, I'd probably have those last 3 LWC key dates I need instead of a new 57" flat-screen, a PS3 with several games, and a Netflix account. Before, it was a 15-year old CRT TV, a PS2, and DVD's. Meh, I guess I can live with that Edited by ljenkins990 03/01/2012 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
