Numismatic Puzzle: UNSCRAMBLE

If you get it please don't post the answer. I'll post it later.

The wife finally had enough and complained to her husband that he paid
more attention grading his silly coin collection than to her.

Unscramble each word below then take all the letters in the "X" positions
and use them to complete the phrase below.

EVERLOOTS _ X _ _ _ _ X X _

FOROP _ _ _ _ X

NIDNIA _ _ X _ X _

SHOWTINNAG _ _ _ X _ _ _ _ X _

What the wife said to her husband:

"Honey, I am grading you as a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _"
"location, location, location...eye appeal, eye appeal, eye appeal"

    I got a good chuckle out of this puzzle. Well-constructed and bumpworthy.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • I've been there. The Japanese have a saying, "before I can learn more something has to come out". I enjoyed your Jumble. That was a good one.

    Well done puzzle, CharlieB. I guess WWBillman had it already.

    Now I find my answer of "Honey, I am grading you as a HOLED OAF" was incorrect. image
