<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppercoins, post: 1308, member: 152&quot;]My wife has very little understanding of coin collecting, even though the term for it comes from her native tongue - &quot;numismatics&quot; is a Greek word by root, and Greeks were the first to make and collect coins...but my wife isn&#039;t the type.&nbsp; She is more the traditional European type who is into spending money to improve personal appearance, get a nicer car, stuff like that - the materialistic side.&nbsp; The shopper.</p><p><br /></p><p>She does understand, however, that coins are my life outside my family.&nbsp; It is all I do, all I talk about, and all I want to be involved in.&nbsp; I study them to a point that most other people don&#039;t.&nbsp; I spend countless hours looking at coins through microscopes, digging through notes, creating more notes, writing articles, writing pages for web sites, updating databases...the real hard-core stuff.&nbsp; She understands and supports what I do even though she is quick to remind me that she doesn&#039;t care one bit about it.&nbsp; She is probably the ONLY person in the world who cares not one bit about doubled dies yet has seen 1936 cent DDOs, 1955 cent DDOs, 1972 cent DDOs, 1984 doubled ears, and 1995 cent DDOs through a microscope.&nbsp; She always looks to see what I am doing, but still says she has no interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t plan on ever getting her interested in coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that could ever happen.&nbsp; But one thing I don&#039;t get out of her is grief for all the time and money I spend on it.&nbsp; At least I&#039;m not out at bars and out with other women, and she&#039;s happy for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
