[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3311854, member: 19165"]Honestly, if she was as excited as you said, I'd probably open a few rolls with her. Offer a bottle of wine while you hang out and bond over the coins she got you. She's trying, and that means more than the actual coins. You (probably) won't find any errors, and you won't find any high grade coins. If you have a loupe, you could look for doubled dies, but honestly you'll have more fun just talking and looking at coins. As the evening progresses, explain to her why you like looking through rolls. Teach her what you are looking for, and explain why it's interesting to you. If you need better light, move to the living room on the rug in front of the fireplace. Express your gratitude for her gift. Be gracious, of course. But communication is key - and openly expressing your desires is the best way to help your partner give you what you really want and need.[/QUOTE]
