[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 7666953, member: 89970"]Years ago my wife would go with me to coin shows. She went either because she loves me or because she can slip out to do shopping for expensive clothes in a metropolitan locale without any argument on what she spent. Maybe some of both. She doesn't remember the coins but she remembers the names of dealers we sat down with all those years ago, when I have forgotten many. I made a deal with her about 50 years ago that I would stop smoking if I could spend my cigarette money on coins. She agreed as long as we could sell the coins in 20 years and use the proceeds to travel around the world. I've only followed through half-way on that agreement, so I still have my collection. Besides what would we do on vacation if we didn't search out the local coin shops? I know she doesn't really have genuine interest in coins, but she still eagerly asks to see the new arrivals when the postman brings them, so I think it's because she loves me.[/QUOTE]
