I tried NOT to think about coins all weekend......

Left for Boston/Cape Cod Friday morning with my wife for our 25th anniversary. Could I give up thinking about coins for a whole weekend? Not a chance. With no computer, I had no access to ebay ,heritage, teletrade, message boards,etc. I actually was up late Thursday checking for any auctions that might close while I was away (Thankfully Russ was distracted by a show). When we strolled through Hyannis, I thought about stopping in the public library for internet access. Yes, it was next to the JFK Museum. I wanted to go in the museum and ask "Got any JFK proofs"? I checked out the coins everytime I got change. At dinner in Cotuit, I had a merlot and thought of Bear and a store in Quincy Market had a sign about the 100 year anniversary of the teddy. We stayed at a B & B in Barnstable and had a wonderful weekend. I'm a lucky guy to have been married to Mrs. PhillyJoe for 25 years.

    Russ, thanks for the tip. Silver, it is. What do you think she would like? An accented hair in PR69? A 1977 PR69 D/C? 1995 silver PR69 D/C? Wait a minute, the Bicentenial in silver is popular. Hmmmm.

  • Congratulations PhillyJoe on the 25 years. I've got almost 18 with Mrs. Bear - still crazy in love after all this time and even having a couple of (kids)cubs.

    I have some of the same malady when it comes to thinking about coins. I never frequented antique shops until I began my hobby/business anew.

    Personally, the high-grade accented hair as an anniversary present wouldn't be so bad...image
