I buy coins for my wife's benefit.

Here is how I rationalized some recent purchases.


My wife is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I bought a 1925 Lexington-Concord.

My wife is the 3rd cousin 6 times removed of Moses Cleveland. I bought a 1936 Cleveland-Great Lakes.

My wife is a member of the Mayflower Society. I bought a 1920 Pilgrim.


Someday I will tell my wife about these coins and maybe even show them to her.
