<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 23760, member: 57463&quot;]In Metalman&#039;s LOTR thread, the subject of spouses came up.&nbsp; (His wife wanted the coins.)&nbsp; How about everyone else?</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife has zero interest in this and actually gives me static about it. Realize that I do this for money.&nbsp; (Well, not CoinTalk, but you know what I mean.)&nbsp; That said, I have been able to make her happy with a few gifts.&nbsp; Perhaps the first was an English gambling token, a &quot;fish&quot; made out of mother of pearl, from about 1800.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>With not much interest in the coins, banknotes, etc., my wife does have an interest in the <u>people</u> in the hobby.&nbsp; The story of the Western Assay Bars is one she is always interested in hearing new facts about.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first got started, I was able to impress her with Trends.&nbsp; You know, you go to a coin store, buy something only you would be dumb enough to waste money on, then when you get home, you wave Trends around, showing what a great deal you got... and three weeks later, the price is higher still.&nbsp; That worked for almost a year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
