Should I buy this or concentrate on my pending mortgage?

Isn't that what your hubby is for?
Houses are over-rated, anyway.
By the way, what the heck are those coins?
I only have my gold book at work...so from 1969, the "Qadhi Mohammed Mahmud Azzubairi Memorial". The camel is KM#1a, a 1 Riyal consisting of 20.48 grams of 0.900 gold (.5926 AGW), mintage of 100 pieces. The lion is KM#4a, a 2 Riyals consisting of 42.29 grams of 0.900 gold (1.2238 oz AGW), also a mintage of 100. I don't have the details on the silver ones because my Krause is at home.

You can always eat ramen noodles for a year (12 boxes for a $1).
Waitaminnit, you're in Japan. That's more like 12 boxes for $100.
Me, I'm on the consomme' and tomato soup diet.

Brad, she only refers to the gold coins.
Cathy, if the question is not hypothetical, I'd say no. They belong to the "readily available" category , you can have them whenever you feel like it.
edit: the small mintages are directly related to the small demand, not an indication of rarity as with circulation coins.

Especially because I just got off from a VERY long distance call and it seems the house did not appraise quite what we thought. Either we offered too much (seems unlikely because every other house I looked at had multiple offers and sold for WAY more than asking prices...we just got lucky and got a crack at this house before it went on market because we know the family selling), or the appraiser is clueless (hmmm), or the mortgage company is trying some not-quite last minute shenanigans (I've heard of them doing things like this so they can then hit you up for a higher rate--but perhaps I'm paranoid).
We can either cancel the contract (but this house is too perfect, and despite the appraiser's opinion, there isn't anything else even close to this in terms of price, condition and location), renegotiate (and the sellers would then be very foolish not to put it on the market and get all those multiple bids), or put down more money. That really leaves out any new, large purchases (in fact, maybe it's time I sold a few things, like those pesky peace dollars...).
Oh well, it seems I was just window shopping, so Cosmicdebris, a pm is coming your way so you know where I was looking (not really too hard to find).
Somehow, though, I feel like I am being sucked into a 'greater fool' situation, too scared not to buy the way the prices are going, but really, if this house were in Virginia Beach, it would be about a quarter of the price!!

Either that appraiser is clueless or there's something wrong with that house that you didn't catch. Housing values in the DC area are skyrocketing. My neighbor sold her house last month the first day it went on the market -- the final price was more than she was asking and about 50 percent more than I paid for my house three years ago.
I hope it gets sorted out.
