[QUOTE="Gregg, post: 3160280, member: 90419"]My dad and I swore a solemn oath to buy no coins in August. This was to give the 'ole bank accounts a rest [I]- July had been an expensive month.[/I] As of Friday, August 10th, my dad had averaged two new purchases a day; however, I was holding out strong because I'm a better person than he is and I keep my word. Someone has to be the adult. So on Saturday, August 11th he drags me off to a coin shop - because he's a bad influence - and he's looking at me, and the coin dealer (Dave) is looking at me, and I feel all this pressure because I don't want to be the square [] in the room so I end up buying a couple of stepped on 21s. (1) All of this kind of hurt my feelings because saying stupid stuff like [I]"I'm not buying any coins this month"[/I] is what you tell the wife - but not your coin shopping buddy. My dad cannot be trusted. Since this month is blown I might as well go see if eBay has some deals... NOTES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: Peace Dollars - I consider all other coinage to be 'tokens'.[/QUOTE]
