my fiancée bought me these...

my fiancée had never coin shopped on her own. yes, she has a collection of her own, but she always asks me if it is a "good deal" before she buys a coin. so she decided to go coin shopping on her own for our "dating anniversary." i admit, i was scared as to what she would get, but here's what she gave to me as a present...



and this one...



really?? these are for me?? i feel bad because all i got her was a 1916 mercury dime in ef and i cooked dinner for her. she got both coins for less than $20 combined!! oh, how i love her...

Great deal on those cents! You should be proud. Happy anniversary!

 

She did very well.

 

Very nice.

 

She did really well....and if she can also fish, marry her.

 

i'm not sure if she can... but she can shoot a gun with accuracy!

 

Whether she can fish or not is immaterial just as long as she knows how to gut and fillet.

You are a lucky guy. Congrats! TC

 

she says she can fish, but doesn't like to fish. can i still marry her?

 

thank you!

 

if she can't, i can gut, fillet, and cook it! :eating: do i still get to marry her?

 

What anniversary was this? 2 week? 1 month? 1 year? and what was the exact date of the anniversary?

 

Nice coins - and just marry her. Congrats.

 

june 6 is 1 year. the wedding is next summer. (yeah, the anniversary is technically on sunday, but we both work on sunday, so we celebrated a couple days early)

 

Happy Anniversary to the both of you!

 

Ahh... hmm... well, I was looking in the numbers for some symbolism you could use to explain why you got her a 1916 merc to bail you out since you 'felt bad'... The one and the six are there for the 1 year, sixth month... and of course, the Merc is pretty widely accepted as one of the most beautiful coins minted in the US... I happen to think it is, myself... and, of course, it was the first year minted on a coin that people treasure for a lifetime!!... I am sure there is something there too...

 

Yeah, I guess so! Just make sure that the gun and fillet knife are hidden when you have your first marital spat.

no symbolism. she collects mercury dimes, and did not have a 1916. she wants her collection in ef. we set a limit of our "gifts" at $20, so i bought it, as it was under the limit. (i don't count dinner in the cost of a gift as i ate it too!)

 

will do!! :hail:

 

HAHa nice finds. Both very clean coins. like the IHC. somebody taught her well.
