I must be the odd man out. My wife is not the least bit concerned about how much money I spend on coins, and she's genuinely interested in some of my acquisitions - not the esoteric stuff, but the "high art" pieces. And to her credit, she made an honest effort to read my website and stay awake.

 

This is probably what she looked like after the first couple of lines:

 

My wife is extremely smart to monitor how much I spend on coins ... otherwise I would end-up like this guy ...



... sure, I'd be pushing around a very sweet coin collection, but I'd be single and homeless

 

Astounding coins Greg. I see you don't have a wife, if you did she would surely boil you in oil. Let me go lay down and think about my marital arrangement. God I love ancient coins.
