My wife doesn't like Ike

My wife doesn't like Ike. I asked her today about some of the coins I've been collecting. It turnd out she likes Morgans and Silver eagles. When I asked her why she liked these series of coins she said, " because they don't have dead presidents on them. Our money shouldn't have former presidents on it. They should go back with more artistic coinage like lady Liberty or Mercs." All I could say was wow

I collect Ikes mainly because I like them and because I do Army contracting work as my main job (also, the price is right). Most people -- both men and women -- agree that bald men on a large coin are not very attractive.

See? And you didn't think she was paying attention!

My wife has an incredible eye for strike quality on Buffalo nickels. Go figure!

I feel your pain!
Don't feel bad,.....I did the same thing with my wife and my coin collection.
Guess what she picked?
My Snow White 50th Aniv. 1 oz. Silver rounds!
She chose a 1oz. Silver Dopey over a 1890-CC PCGS MS64 DMPL Morgan!!

Aarrrrrrrgggg!!!

Tell her IKE is also known as EAGLE and is one of the few coins where the date is on the reverse

bummer, have you ever sold a coin for $20 and find out a few weeks later the buyer got offered alot more for it?
