Look what I brought home for the little woman

Picked this one up at a Flea Market. Excuse the fotos, still working the 'techniques'. I like her.

Wife said; "Oooh, it looks dirty. How much did you pay for it?"

Seeing she didn't like the 'tone', I picked up this one at a live, local auction:

Brought her to the little woman: "Oooh thats nice".

I've even talked her into going with me to the live, coin only, auctions. She says: "But I'll be bored, with nothing to do".

I said: "I have a job for you. I want you to look over the items, pick out the ones that APPEAL TO YOUR EYE".

She's getting there.

    Picked up the 37 for $90. I fell in love, bargained it down to $90, he 'ate' the tax. Felt okay about the buy. Maybe a shade under Bid, absolutely no complaints.

    It's awsome having a better half that enjoys the hobby. It was actually Trish and her family that got me into collecting. She is more into type coins and currency now, since I took over the IHC collection after my completion of my circ walker set.
