Don't let your wife "organize" your coins.

My wife decided she was going to organize my roll collection. I welcomed it with some stipulations, I told her not to mess with my OBW rolls, only the 1000 or so tubed rolls. Anyway she got carried away and mixed the OBW rolls I had opened along with the ones I had not so now I have no idea which ones were searched and which are fine. Some of you are wondering why I cant tell the difference, well it is because when rolls are stored in bags the ends on the bag side can get so messed up it is hard to tell if they were opend or just mushed.
Lesson learned the hard way.

PS: I wouldn't ever let anyone mess with my coins or related materials. It's just such a personal thing, how it's arranged, etc...

Ive had 2 wives !
Wives are highly over rated !
Taste test ?
It is an aquired taste,much like beer and scotch !
I now declare this thread hi-jacked !
ROFLMAO
Brian,
Still not sure about the dilemma. After you open an OBW roll don't you put it in a plactic tube? I take it even one step further and use a heat sealer and seal the individually in safe flips.
Cam, I'm with Nankraut. You DON'T need a wife.

Yeah, but your original rolls are from the teens and twenties!

Funny I was trying to decide which was the hottest earlier and it was a tough call. I'll go with the blue, closely followed up by the girl to her right. I wouldn't come close to the one on the far left with a branding iron.

I think I have to agree with Cam on this one. But I agree with the others about Cam not needing a wife. Not at this time Cam, ypu're still too young. I don't think anyone should bet married before they are 25 or 26. Before that they still tend to think too much with their emotions and they are still getting settled into learning to be responsible for themselves, meeting expenses and developing carreers. they don't need the added confusion of trying to adapt to the responsibilities of dealing with a spouse and their desires at the same time (heaven forbid the complications that children would add.). When your 26, (assuming you are a responsible adult) you will look back at how you were at 21 and realize that were still "crazy" and inexperienced then and that to have gotten married back then would have been a big mistake.
Do you pick up, or do I have to ship her to you?

The one on the right is the hottest. Cam, forget about getting married.....you're too young. Once you are married, then the woman smorgasbord is officially closed. Enjoy life, although do it responsibly. When you meet the right girl, you will know it. Then everything will fall into place....naturally. When you do find the right girl, please take my advice and do NOT tell them about your obsession with the Olsen twins. She will be out-the-door before you can say "sample slab".
Clackamas, sorry to hear about your horror story. My wife does not understand rare coins at all. To her my coins look like spending money, so I keep them locked up in a safe and safety deposit boxes. She likes to organize, so I let her organize my sock drawer, but that's where it all stops. Don't know what to tell you about getting your rolls back together. Sounds like a huge mess.
