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

PhillyJoe

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

You know, Joe, you sound a bit obsessed. Glad I don't have that problem.

Congrats on #25, isn't that silver - as in 1964 JFK?

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...
