Hi all I recently loooked at and catalogued a set of coins for a co-worker. There were only around 100 coins and nothing realy special the best was an 1878 Morgan that may have made AU. I put the coins in flips and sealed them added a small printed note in the other side of the flip describing the coin. I gave the set back last week thinking nothing more of it. Today I find on my desk a thankyou card and $60 in cash.[:0] The total value coins I looked at might have been $40 and I had fun going over then. How do I give the money back without hurting her feelings?  |

I would explain the same thing, that you had fun going through them and enjoyed helping her get info at the same time. may tell her you'll buy a nice lunch instead. make her feel like she did you a favor by letting you go through them and letting you have all the fun...  |

By now you should know what she has in her collection, and what type of coins she likes. Use the money to buy her a coin she hasn't already collected, and give it to her for her collection. She would probably appreciate the thought, if not the gift. AND she couldn't say NO!

Get her a 2005 Proof SAE with the money! Everytime she will look at it she will think of you. After all, she would eventually spend the $60, but as the saying goes, "One who collects coins never runs short of money."
Also, for the money, is there anything more beautiful than a proof SAE?

"FOR THE MONEY"...I stated.
Sure I would love a $50 Golden Proof AE (who wouldn't?), but he has only $60 to spend.

Thanks for the help.
My wife tells me I should give her the money back and tell her that her mother should have told her not to give money to strange men...... I do not think she collects coins. The collection belonged to her Grand Father.
I like the Idea of a Proof SAE but then I would I collect coins.
